EV Charger Installation in Your Home

When it comes to EVSE chargers, there are three primary types available, and the right choice for you depends on various factors such as your driving habits, preferences, setup, and budget. Allow us to provide you with an overview of these options and don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have:

1. Level 1 Charger: This charger is typically included when you purchase an electric vehicle. It can be plugged into a standard three-prong outlet without requiring any special equipment or installation. However, one drawback of a level 1 charger is that it takes over 20 hours to fully charge your vehicle's battery. This means you'll have to plug it in overnight, and you may not be able to drive every day.
2. Level 2 Charger: The next step up is the level 2 charger, which necessitates a dedicated 240-volt circuit and professional installation. With a level 2 charger, it will only take two or three hours to fully charge your electric car. Some automakers now include level 2 chargers with their EVs, but you'll still need the expertise of Hot Shot Electric for proper installation. Attempting a DIY installation can be dangerous, and an incorrect setup will prevent your charger from functioning effectively.
3. Level 3 Charger: Level 3 chargers, also known as DC fast chargers, are primarily designed for commercial use and are commonly found at public charging stations. They offer a significantly faster charging time, taking approximately an hour and a half to provide 160 miles of driving range. However, it's important to note that level 3 chargers require an industrial-level power draw and cannot be used at residential properties. If you require a level 3 charger for your business in Oklahoma, Hot Shot Electric can handle the installation for you.

Understanding the distinctions between these charger types will help you determine the most suitable option for your specific needs.
