The answer to 'types of EV charger' is that there are three main types of EV chargers for homeowners: Level 1, Level 2, and DC Fast Chargers. Level 1 chargers use a standard 120V household outlet and provide the slowest charging, adding about 3-5 miles of range per hour. Level 2 chargers use a 240V outlet (like for an electric dryer) and charge much faster, adding 10-20 miles of range per hour. DC Fast Chargers are the fastest, adding 60-200 miles of range in just 15-30 minutes, but they require specialized high-voltage equipment and are typically found at public charging stations, not in homes.
The type of charger you choose will depend on your driving needs, the electrical capacity of your home, and your budget. Most homeowners opt for a Level 2 charger, as it provides a good balance of charging speed and affordability for home use.
