How to Choose the Right EV Charger for Your Home

With the rise of electric vehicles, having a home EV charger is becoming a necessity. But with so many options, how do you choose the right one? In this guide, we’ll walk you through the differences between Level 1 and Level 2 chargers, installation tips, and key features to look for.

Level 1 vs Level 2 Chargers

Level 1 chargers plug into a standard 120V outlet and are best for overnight charging. Level 2 chargers require a 240V outlet and charge much faster, making them ideal for daily use.

Installation Considerations

Before installing, consider your panel capacity, proximity to your parking area, and whether you want a hardwired or plug-in model. A licensed electrician like Fail Safe Electric can help determine what’s best for your home.

Smart Features

Modern chargers offer features like mobile app integration, usage tracking, and scheduled charging. These can optimize energy use and save you money in the long run.
