Level 1 Charging is the Best Fit for Your Home

Why this recommendation?

Based on your driving habits, charging access, and home setup, Level 1 charging should comfortably meet your daily needs. Level 1 adds about 4 miles of range per hour, and with your available charging time, that's plenty to keep up with your routine. Simply use the charging cable that came with your EV and any standard household outlet — no installation or upfront costs required. You pay the same standard electricity rate you use for the rest of your home.

Get the Most Out of Your Level 1 Charger

Tip 1: Use a Dedicated Outlet

Avoid sharing the outlet with other high-draw appliances to ensure consistent charging speed.

Tip 2: Plug In Right Away

Connect as soon as you get home to maximize your overnight charging window.

Tip 3: Keep in Good Condition

Regularly inspect your charging cable and connector and keep them free of debris.

Pro Tip

If your driving increases or you find your Level 1 charger just isn't keeping up, installing a Level 2 charger is always an option. It charges 6-7x faster than Level 1 charging—delivering a full charge for your EV in 4-8 hours instead of 24-48 hours.
