At Next Level Electric, we specialize in preparing your home for the future with professional EV charging solutions. Whether you need a dedicated outlet installed in your garage for Level 1 charging or you’re ready to upgrade to a high-speed, wall-mounted Level 2 charging station, our licensed electricians deliver safe, reliable, and efficient installations. 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. From start to finish, we focus on quality workmanship, code-compliant setups, and solutions tailored to your home’s electrical system—so you can charge with confidence every day.

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.

What to Expect:
- Requires a 240V outlet or dedicated circuit
- Professional installation recommended
- Adds approximately 20–60 miles of range per hour
