There are three types of charging stations available for electric cars: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. These stations can be used either at home or at a public charging station. The primary distinction between them is their charging speed, with Level 1 being the slowest and Level 3 being the fastest, in terms of providing a full charge.
​

What does Level 1 charging mean for my electric vehicle?

Your electric car comes with a Level 1 charging cable, which enables you to connect your vehicle to a regular power outlet. This will provide you with a charging rate of approximately 10-20 kilometres of range per hour.

​What does Level 2 charging mean for my electric vehicle?
​

When using Level 2 chargers, you can expect to receive approximately 40 kilometres of range per hour charged, utilising your standard household electricity. While some vehicle manufacturers may provide the necessary cable with the car, others may offer it as an optional accessory, which may be included with home charging units.

What does Level 3 charging mean for my electric vehicle?
​

​A Level 3 charger, also known as DC or Fast Chargers, can charge a car up to 80% of its capacity in less than an hour. However, these chargers are costly to buy and set up. Therefore, it's recommended that you refer to PlugShare and view their helpful map to locate a public Level 3 charger near you instead.
