As the electric vehicle market expands, public charging stations become more readily available. But, we are still not yet at a point where you are guaranteed a nearby EV charger wherever you go near Flint, MI, so it is advantageous to have one installed at home.
Commercial properties may also benefit from installing EV chargers as a perk for employees or customers. As electric vehicles flood the market in Flint, EV charger installation will become an expectation in public spaces, so it is advantageous to jump on the trend now.
There are several types of EV chargers available for both commercial and residential use, and each has its own benefits and drawbacks.
Level 1 chargers plug into a standard wall outlet. This is the type of charger that comes with your electric vehicle when you purchase it, and for those who only drive short distances, it may be enough. An hour of charge will give you up to 5 miles, and it takes about twenty-two hours to achieve a full charge. This means that an 8 hour charge overnight will net you 40 miles for the next day. Level 1 chargers do not require professional installation.
Level 2 chargers are the most practical EV chargers for residential and commercial use, and they require the same level of voltage as your dryer (240 V). This means they can be hardwired or plugged into an existing dryer outlet. They require professional EV charger installation in Flint, so contact Design Electric Services for assistance if you are interested in this type of charger.
Level 2 chargers produce different outputs, but most residential EV chargers in this category achieve a full charge overnight. You’ll have to determine exactly what you need from your EV charger depending on the distance you drive each day and if you’ll have access to charging stations along the way.
Level 3 chargers are also sometimes called DC fast chargers. You won’t find fast chargers in homes, but these powerful devices charge EVs in 20-30 minutes at public charging stations in Michigan. If you plan to install a charger at a commercial location and want to facilitate quick charging for your employees and customers, consider a fast charger for optimal efficiency.
