Know Your Charging Options

Types of Level 2 Charging.

240Volt Plug in Outlet (NEMA 14-50)

This setup uses a 240-volt outlet similar to an electric range or RV outlet but its rated for EV Charging. Your EV charger plugs into the receptacle, making it a flexible and lower-cost option for Level 2 charging.

Because EV charging is considered a continuous load under the National Electrical Code (NEC), a 50-amp circuit is limited to 40 amps of continuous charging. This works well for many EVs, but if your vehicle or charger requires 48-amp charging, a hardwired wall charger is required instead of a plug-in outlet.

Great for homeowners looking for dependable Level 2 charging with a more budget-friendly installation option.

Why Many EV Owners Choose a Hardwired Wall Charger.

As electric vehicles become more common, many homeowners are discovering that not all EV charging setups are the same.
