Upgrade Your Home Garage Charging Station for Faster Charging

Imagine leaving home without ever needing to stop at the gas station. When you own an electric vehicle and garage charging station, you’ll enjoy an unlimited fuel supply right at home.

As gas prices soar and more people become concerned about the environment, modern homeowners are switching to electric vehicles. If you own or are planning to purchase an electric car, did you know that with help from an electrician, you can upgrade your charging station to perform faster?

Why Should I Upgrade My Car Charger? 

Most standard electric cars come with a 120-volt charger (Level 1) that you can plug into a household outlet. While that’s convenient, it can take up to 20 hours to fully charge your car on 120 volts with a Level 1 charger.

For a much faster charge, you’ll need to upgrade to a 220-volt (Level 2) charging station. These require a 220-volt outlet, which you’ll need to have professionally installed by an electrician.

How Much Faster Is A 220-Volt Charge? 

Exact charging times will depend on your car model, but you can expect to replenish your car with a Level 2 station in a fraction of the time required for Level 1. While a car could take 20 hours to charge on a 120-volt station, it could be fully charged in three to four hours if you use a Level 2 220-volt system.

What About Level 3 Chargers? 

If you’ve used an electric car charger in public parking lots, you may have noticed these stations can charge your car in as little as 30 minutes. These are called Level 3 chargers, and although they are the fastest, they aren’t a suitable option for homes.

Why not? Level 3 chargers cost tens of thousands of dollars, require high power levels, and can damage your car’s battery after frequent use. Installing a Level 3 charger would be like building your own home gas station. Instead, hire a professional to install a 220-volt outlet to use a Level 2 charger. 

Unless you want to wait for painfully slow charges, it’s time to upgrade your 120-volt electric car station to 220 volts. At Texadia Systems, we offer electrical services to the Dallas-Fort Worth area with ongoing maintenance and support.
