ST. PETERSBURG, Florida.–If you are looking for an Electric Car Charger Installation in the St. Petersburg area, you have come to the right place. Uber Energy has just opened a new branch in St. Petersburg for installing electric car charging stations We are here to help provide the best installation specifically for you. As a new electric vehicle owner, you probably only have one worry. How will I charge my car at home? There are many options as to which charging station fits your vehicle. Let’s see what would best fit you.
Level 1 Home Charging Install
These Level 1 charging stations use a normal 120-volt connection, which utilizes any standard household outlet; there are no extra costs here. The downside is that charging times are extremely slow. Many electric vehicle owners will likely find that they deplete the battery faster than at the rate the vehicle charges.
We highly do not recommend staying with Level 1 Charging as it will provide an unpleasant charging experience for you.
Level 2 Home Charging Install
Having a Level 2 EVSE at your home is ideal because most EV owners find they do the majority of their charging while they are asleep. For example, Level 1 home charging simply won’t work for anyone who drives long distances regularly and doesn’t have the time or opportunity to recharge their car during the day. Upgrading to a Level 2 charging station for that owner becomes a necessity, especially if the car is fully electric and there aren’t any public charging stations.
A Level 2 Charging Station utilizes a 240-volt connection that can be hard-wired directly to the car charger itself or to a NEMA Outlet.
Here is a chart that compares Level 1 vs. Level 2 Home Charging:
As you can see, the difference in charging times is significant.
