We help homeowners and businesses make smart, future-ready decisions about EV chargers. Understanding the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 charging is the first step toward choosing the right solution for your needs.

Level 1 charging is the most basic and accessible method to power your EV. It utilizes a standard 120-volt household outlet, meaning no special equipment is required for setup. 

What to Expect: 

- Plugs into any standard outlet 

- Adds approximately 3–5 miles of range per hour 

Ideal For: 

- Light daily driving 

- Plug-in hybrid vehicles 

- Backup or occasional charging 

Our Take at Next Level Electric: While Level 1 charging is a great starting point for EV chargers, most drivers quickly realize they need a faster and more reliable solution, such as Level 2 charging.
