Part 3/7:
Choosing the Right Charger
Before installing a charger, consider the following:
Your daily driving habits: Know how many miles you typically drive to determine how much capacity you need.
Your home’s electrical system: Check whether your home can accommodate a dedicated EV circuit without necessitating a costly electrical service upgrade.
The model of the EV: Different electric cars have various charging efficiencies and battery capacities.
For most users, a 7.2 kW Level 2 charger is an ideal choice, as it offers a good balance of charging speed and cost-effectiveness. Notably, it's essential to understand that any electric vehicle will only draw as much power as it can handle, irrespective of the charger’s maximum capacity.
