Considering an all-electric Maserati from the all-new Folgore lineup, like the Grecale Folgore? If the answer is yes, you’re probably already aware that these vehicles require charging to get the electric range necessary to travel around Wichita, KS with peace of mind. A common question we get from prospective buyers at Maserati of Kansas City is, “Are all electric car chargers the same?” Yes, all electric car chargers are universal! This means that if you already own a charger for a different electric vehicle (EV) or plug-in hybrid (PHEV), there’s no need to buy a new one. This is because all EVs use the same standard plug for both Level 1 and Level 2 charging. The only exception to this rule is the Tesla Supercharger, which is currently exclusive to Tesla vehicles. To learn more about the different types of electric car chargers, check out Maserati of Kansas City’a comprehensive guide below.
There are three different types of electric car chargers: Level 1, Level 2, and DC Fast Charging (also known as Level 3). Below, you’ll find a breakdown of each, their charging speeds, and where to find them around St. Louis, MO:
Level 1 charging utilizes a standard 120-volt household outlet and doesn’t require any special installation. You simply plug your charging equipment into a regular wall outlet, much like you do with your phone or other electronic devices. While this is the most accessible charging option, it’s also the slowest, offering a charging speed of three to five miles per hour. Because it can take well over 24 hours to charge your EV via Level 1 charging, it’s not a very convenient choice for frequent EV drivers in Lawrence, KS.
Level 2 charging is the most common and convenient form of charging and requires professional installation within your garage. This type of charging can add anywhere from 12 to 80 miles to your EV per hour. Having a Level 2 charging station installed is most practical for EV owners. These charging stations can also be found in public places around NW Arkansas, like plazas, malls, or parking garages.
DC Fast Charging, often known as Level 3 charging, is the speediest method of EV charging available. This is because DC fast charging employs direct current (DC), whereas lower-level charging relies on alternating current (AC). Due to the significantly higher voltage used in DC fast charging, it cannot be installed in most homes, as residential electrical systems cannot typically support this type of charging.
