Switching to an electric vehicle? One of the most important decisions you’ll make is how to charge it at home. At D.A. Electric, we install EV chargers across Kansas and Missouri and help homeowners pick the right system for their needs
Here’s a breakdown of your two main options:
Level 1 Charger (Standard 120V)
- Pros: No special wiring; plugs into a regular outlet
- Cons: Very slow charging (3-5 miles of range per hour)
- Best for: Short-distance drivers or overnight top-offs
Level 2 Charger (240V)
- Pros: Much faster – up to 30+ miles of range per hour
- Cons: Requires a dedicated circuit and installation by an electrician
- Best for: Daily drivers, longer commutes, or multiple EVs
Bonus Tip: Consider Smart Features
Many Level 2 chargers offer Wi-Fi connectivity, energy tracking, and scheduling – perfect if you want to charge during off-peak hours and save money.
