Types of Electric Vehicle Charger Installation
Most car companies with EVs provide the standard 10-Amp plug (your standard home plug) as a minimum Electric Car Charger Installation option. Because of the newness of the EV market and its rapid evolution, there are different types of plugs internationally. In Australia the standard plugs used are Type 2 (Mennekes) plug for AC charging and both the CCS and CHAdeMO for DC charging. Tesla supercharge stations only service Tesla vehicles due to a Tesla proprietary plug.
Level 1 EV Charger
This charger comes standard with most electric vehicles sold in Australia and is plugged into any standard three-prong Power Point outlet. Although Level 1 chargers can be the most practical, their power delivery is somewhat limited and can charge EV batteries very slowly. Level 1 chargers are best used for overnight charging an Electric Vehicle, charging PHEVS (Petrol-hybrid electric vehicles) and those on a budget. Although a great entry level product, Level 1 chargers are not guaranteed or designed to meet the future needs of electric vehicles.
Level 2 EV Charger
AC Fast Charging
Commonly called a Type 1 IEC 62196 or Mennekes charger. If you need faster ev charger speeds at home there is a quicker option by installing a Level 2 (wall-box) charger, which increases the charging power to 7.2kW or 22kW. We recommend this option as it offers significantly faster charge times and safety benefits due to dedicated electrical wiring. This style of charger is a more advanced charger that requires its own dedicated 240-volt circuit which needs to be professionally Installed by True Local Electricians. Level 2 electric vehicle charger installation may require an upgrade to 3 phase power to achieve maximum charge speeds. However a 7.2kW Level 2 electric car charger installation can work off standard 240V single phase electricity.
Level 3
Rapid DC Fast Charging
Level 3 chargers are the standalone device commonly available at public charging stations. These chargers are the fastest of all chargers and can add 160 kms of driving range to an EV’s batteries in about 30mins. These do not have much of a residential application at this stage as they can be quite expensive and require an industrial-level power draw. If you own or work at an industrial building, it is possible to have a Level 3 charger installed there. Level 3 chargers are commonly found in commercial applications such as petrol stations, carparks, motorways, and street side areas.
3 Phase Electricity Upgrade
Is your ev charger slow to charge? To achieve the maximum fast charging speeds at home, we recommend upgrading your ev charger installation from single phase power to three phase electricity.
