Level 2 chargers can range from 2.9-19.2kw, while level 1 chargers only support 1.3-2.4kw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since all level 1 chargers carry 120 volts and level 2 chargers always carry 240 volts, you might also see the power rating of an EV charger listed in \u201camps\u201d (or amperes).

With a level 2 charger, this will be determined by your on-board charger. At level 3 chargers, this will depend on your battery\u2019s state of charge (SoC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is an On-board Charger?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you install a level 2 charger in your home, it\u2019s important to know the power rating of your EV\u2019s on-board charger. All electric cars have an on-board charger that converts alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). Your on-board chargers\u2019 power rating will let you know the maximum charging rate of your EV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><span data-src=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/onboard_charger_infographic-1024x643.png\" rel=\"lightbox\" data-fancybox><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"643\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/onboard_charger_infographic-1024x643.png\" alt=\"onboard charger infographic\" class=\"wp-image-48813\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/onboard_charger_infographic-1024x643.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/onboard_charger_infographic-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/onboard_charger_infographic-770x484.png 770w, https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/onboard_charger_infographic-210x132.png 210w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/span><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if your EV\u2019s on-board charger is rated for 7.7kw, and you hook it up to a charger that outputs 11.5kw, it will still only charge at 7.7kw. On the other hand, if your EV\u2019s on-board charger is rated for 11.5kw, and you plug it into an EV charger that is rated for 7.7kw, you will still only charge at 7.7kw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, ideally, you want to use an EV charger that is able to deliver as much power as your EV\u2019s on-board charger can receive &#8211; or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Read More: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/how-to-choose-an-ev-charger\"><strong><em>How to choose the right EV charger<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em><u><\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Level 3 EV Charging Curve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While level 3 chargers are fast, they don\u2019t deliver power consistently. Most EVs will only reach maximum charging speeds when the battery is around 10-20% full. Then charging times will slow down until the battery reaches 80 or 90%, at which point, many electric cars will stop charging to preserve battery life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><span data-src=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/dc-charging-curve-1-1024x661.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\" data-fancybox><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"661\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/dc-charging-curve-1-1024x661.jpg\" alt=\"dc \" class=\"wp-image-48200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/dc-charging-curve-1-1024x661.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/dc-charging-curve-1-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/dc-charging-curve-1-770x497.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/dc-charging-curve-1-210x135.jpg 210w, https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/dc-charging-curve-1.jpg 1358w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/span><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(Image Source: P3 Charging Index)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>When you plug an electric car into a DC fast charger, it takes a while for the EV to communicate the optimal charging speed. Once the charger knows how much power it should deliver, it can only reach maximum charging speeds for a short period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most efficient electric cars on the market now can only maintain near-maximum charging speeds until the battery is around half full, but most EVs will slow down to 100kw or less when the battery reaches 50% capacity. This means two electric cars can have the same maximum charging rate, but the actual time it takes to charge them can be totally different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, the KIA EV6 and Tesla Model Y (LR) both have a maximum charging rate of around 250kW, but the KIA can charge from 10-80% in under 20 minutes, while the Tesla can take over 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Read More: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/how-long-does-it-take-to-charge-an-ev\"><strong><em>How long does it take to charge an electric car?<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To give you a better idea of how long it will take to charge an EV, here are the top-selling EVs from 2023, <a href=\"https:\/\/mediaroom.kbb.com\/2024-01-16-Americans-Buy-Nearly-1-2-Million-Electric-Vehicles-to-Hit-Record-in-2023,-According-to-Latest-Kelley-Blue-Book-Data\">according<\/a> to Kelly Blue Book:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><span data-src=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Level-3-EV-Charging-most-popular-cars-1024x688.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\" data-fancybox><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"688\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Level-3-EV-Charging-most-popular-cars-1024x688.jpg\" alt=\"Level 3 EV Charging most popular cars\" class=\"wp-image-48205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Level-3-EV-Charging-most-popular-cars-1024x688.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Level-3-EV-Charging-most-popular-cars-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Level-3-EV-Charging-most-popular-cars-770x517.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Level-3-EV-Charging-most-popular-cars-210x141.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/span><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(Data Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/evkx.net\/\">EVKX<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Transmission Loss<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When charging your EV, around 15% of the power will be lost. Some power is lost due to the heat emanating from your charger, the cable, the on-board charger, and the battery. Plus, your battery will use some power to keep itself warm and to control other operations in the background.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, a study from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) shows that level 1 chargers are only around 84% efficient, while level 2 chargers are closer to 90% efficient. Basically, the faster you charge, the less power will be lost in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Read More: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/level-1-vs-level-2-charging\"><strong><em>Level 1 vs level 2 EV chargers<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Weather Affects EV Charging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Charging your EV in cold temperatures can increase wait times significantly.
