EV Car Chargers

Your car is a convenient tool for transportation, but more than that, it gives you the freedom to go where you want, when you want. That is, unless the battery of your electric vehicle runs out.

Public charging stations aren’t equipped with the same availability and resources as standard gas stations, making an immediate solution impossible. Take matters into your own hands with help from Longacre Company! We can provide your home with electric car charger installation services to ensure your car is powered when you need it.

What Are The Options For EV Charging?

Chargers for electric vehicles exist at different levels, and as the levels go up, the benefits increase. The most basic option is known as a Level 1 — or L1 — charger. The highest-level charger is known as an L3, but these are most commonly found in commercial settings and aren’t recommended for homeowners.

The L1 charger is a practical choice for residential settings as it consists of a ready-to-use cord that should come with the purchase of your vehicle. These devices are easy to use since they work in tandem with standard home outlets.

Level 2 chargers are more complicated. These chargers will typically require a 240V outlet, which is meant to handle larger electrical loads.

L2 charging stations can also be mounted to your wall, which will require the careful expertise of a professional. Remember, any electrical mishaps can lead to hazardous conditions, so it’s best to put your trust in an experienced electrician!

Are L2 Chargers Worth The Investment?

L1 and L2 chargers are both great options for EV owners. However, your individual needs and preferences can make one option stand out above the other.

Cost is the first factor to consider. Due to their more complex nature, L2 chargers are more costly than the L1 option. Additionally, you may have to pay for the installation cost of a new outlet if you don’t have a 240V one readily available where you need it.

The cost can make L1 chargers the preferred choice, but it’s also important to consider convenience. As a trade-off to their lower price, these chargers take significantly longer to charge a car than an L2 option. Homeowners will need to weigh the cost and the convenience to choose between these EV car chargers for their homes.
