Week 6 Session 13

For any 3 electric vehicles compare the battery pack and charging system requirements.

Level of charging

The rate of EV charging is 120 volts in Level 1.
Most electric vehicles come with a cord and a control box attached to them for Level 1 charging.
One can plug in the cord to a three-pin wall socket to begin charging.
It takes about 8 to 12 hours to charge from 0 to 100 per cent at Level 1, depending on your EV battery capacity.
You don’t need to necessarily install any additional hardware for this level of charging.
The only downside of Level 1 charging is the long duration it takes to fully charge an EV.

Level 2 charging for EVs is rated usually at 240 volts.
This level of charging requires additional hardware.
Some EV manufacturers provide Level 2 home charger installation services.
A Level 2 charger takes about 6 to 8 hours to recharge EVs from 0 to 100 per cent based on its battery capacity.
While Level 2 charging is efficient, it adds the cost of the hardware to the charging expense.

Level 3 chargers typically charge at a rate of 480 volts.
It requires only 1 hour or less to charge an EV from 0 to 80 per cent.
Level 3 charging systems require expensive hardware, making their installations primarily suitable at public stations only.
