UV Sustainability's Charging equipment for PEVs is classified by the rate at which the batteries are charged. Charging times vary based on how depleted the battery is, how much energy it holds, the type of battery, and the type of charging equipment (e.g., charging level and power output). The charging time can range from less than 20 minutes to 20 hours or more, depending on these factors. Charging the growing number of PEVs in use requires a robust network of stations for both consumers and fleets.
For information on currently available charging infrastructure models, see the Electric Drive Transportation Association's GoElectricDrive website and Plug In America's Get Equipped resource, which include information on charging networks and service providers. When choosing equipment for a specific application, many factors, such as networking, payment capabilities, and operation and maintenance, should be considered.

Level 1 Charging Level 2 Charging

Level 1 Charging: 2 to 5 miles of range per

Alternating Current (AC) Level 1 equipment (often referred to simply as Level 1) provides charging through a 120 volt (V) AC plug. Most, if not all, PEVs will come with a Level 1 cordset, so no additional charging equipment is required. On one end of the cord is a standard NEMA connector, and on the other end is an SAE J1772 standard connector. The J1772 connector plugs into the car's J1772 charge port, and the NEMA connector plugs into a standard NEMA wall outlet. Note that Tesla vehicles have a unique connector. All Tesla vehicles come with a J1772 adapter, which allows them to use non-Tesla charging equipment. and more

Level 2 Charging: 10 to 20 miles of range per

AC Level 2 equipment offers charging through 240 V or 208 V electrical service. Most homes have 240 V service available, and because Level 2 equipment can charge a typical PEV battery overnight, PEV owners commonly install it for home charging. Level 2 equipment is also commonly used for public and workplace charging. This charging option can operate at up to 80 amperes (Amp) and 19.2 kW. However, most residential Level 2 equipment operates at lower power. Many of these units operate at up to 30 Amps, delivering 7.2 kW of power. These units require a dedicated 40-Amp circuit. As of 2020, over 80% of public EVSE ports in the United States were Level 2.
