Types of EV chargers: which one did you get?
When you purchase an electric vehicle, you will get one of three main chargers. Each is suited to different needs.
Level 1 chargers:
Standard home outlets
A Level 1 charger uses a standard 240V home outlet. They’re ideal for those who drive short distances and can charge their vehicle overnight.
While these chargers are the slowest, they’re easy to set up without additional installation requirements.
Level 1 chargers are perfect for occasional EV users or those with low daily mileage.
- Time to add 100 km of range: ~8 hours
- Range from 10 mins of charging: ~4 km
Level 2 chargers:
Faster home or workplace chargers
Level 2 chargers provide faster charging speeds and typically require professional installation.
These chargers also use a 240V power source but deliver higher amperage. This significantly reduces charging time compared to Level 1.
Level 2 chargers are ideal for daily EV users or households with multiple electric vehicles.
They offer a more efficient and convenient solution for home or workplace use.
- Time to add 100 km of range: ~2–3 hours
- Range from 10 mins of charging: ~14 km
Level 3 chargers:
DC fast chargers
Level 3 chargers, also known as DC (direct current) fast chargers, are the fastest option. This type of charger is what you’d commonly find at public charging stations.
They can charge your EV in as little as 30 minutes (depending on the vehicle and battery size.)
These chargers require specialised equipment and are typically used for commercial or public charging infrastructure.
If you’re looking for ultra-fast charging, Level 3 may be the solution, though it’s not usually installed in homes.
- Time to add 100 km of range: ~15–30 minutes
- Range from 10 mins of charging: ~50 km

Important EV charger installation considerations
When planning to install an EV charger at your property, understanding key aspects and getting professional guidance are crucial.
Our EV installation specialists support you every step of the way, from choosing a suitable charger to a safe setup.
This section provides essential information to help you make informed decisions and future-proof your property.
Choosing your charger location
Our specialists will help you determine the best location for your charger, whether indoors or outdoors.
Consider ease of access for your vehicle and proximity to the electrical supply to minimise wiring costs. Planning for future expansion is also important; if you plan to install more chargers later, make sure there’s enough space.
Assessing electrical capacity
Your home’s electrical system must support the added load of an EV charger, particularly for Level 2 installations.
Our electricians can assess and, if necessary, upgrade your electrical panel to handle the installation safely without overloading your system. This will ensure safe operation and prevent overloading your home’s power supply.
Understanding charging speed
Charging speeds vary among EV chargers. Level 1 chargers are suitable for overnight use, while Level 2 chargers offer faster charging – ideal if you frequently drive long distances. Level 3 chargers are generally for commercial use.
Our experts will guide you in selecting the most appropriate charger for your needs.
Ensuring vehicle and charger compatibility
Leveraging Wi-Fi and smart features
Installation costs
Beyond the cost of the charger itself, factor in installation costs. Price can vary depending on the complexity of the setup (distance to the electrical panel, any necessary upgrades, etc.)
Regulations and permits
Local regulations may require permits or inspections when installing an EV charger. Our installation specialists will help you navigate these requirements to ensure your setup is compliant and safe.
