So how do electric cars generate power? They plug into something called an EV charge port for juice. Did you know there are multiple types of EV charge ports? That's right! There are different electric vehicles with different charge ports, each to be plugged in to charge the batteries. Let us have a brief overview of the various EV charge port types.
Charge ports are the simplest type; they are Level 1 charge ports. You can find people like them in most homes. They connect to a standard wall outlet and provide a gradual charge for your electric vehicle. This kind is useful for charging at night or topping up a little during the day.
Level 2 charge ports provide significantly faster charging than Level 1. They are available at public charging stations or can be installed at home. Level 2 charging is fine if you need a charge, but can wait a while.
The fastest kind of charge port is for DC Fast Charging. You’ll typically find these at dedicated public charging stations. They can provide your electric car with a quick top-off in a relatively short time. This one is ideal for when you need to recharge quickly on the go.
For a faster charge and greater selection, you may want to look into a Level 2 charge port. (If all goes according to plan, the payment will post when the car is parked.) It’s a great option for charging during the day or law enforcement errands.
But with various charge ports available, picking the right one can be tricky. Ruivanda can help! We also have a wide range of chargers and accessories for any electric car, helping you find the right one for your needs.
