Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3? EV Chargers Explained
Type 1 chargers are just regular wall outlets, the same thing you''d plug your phone into to charge. As you might expect, it takes a very long time to charge an EV''s battery with a type 1 charger --- about 20 hours for a 120-mile charge. Type 1 chargers use AC (alternating current) power, and range in output from 1kW to 7.5 kW.
