Choosing the ideal Level 2 home charging station depends on your specific electric vehicle (EV) model and its power acceptance capacity. Use the tables below to discover which charging station suits your EV’s needs for optimal charging times.
Every EV has a battery with a specific capacity, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). This capacity reflects how much energy the battery can hold, similar to a fuel tank in a gasoline car. A higher battery capacity translates to a longer driving range, as it stores more energy and allows for greater autonomy.
The power of a home charging station, measured in kilowatts (kW), impacts how quickly your EV can charge. This power is calculated by multiplying the voltage (V) by the amperage (A). In North America, Level 2 home charging stations are typically plugged into 220-240V outlets, making both voltage and amperage key factors in charging speed.
Higher amperage means higher power capability, and thus faster charging—provided your EV can accept the charging station’s full power output.
For example, if your EV’s power acceptance is 9.6 kW and you use a charging station rated at 11.5 kW, the car will charge at its maximum 9.6 kW rate, not at 11.5 kW. So, it’s essential to match your EV’s power acceptance with the charging station’s capabilities.
The following section shows two tables that show different EV and plug-in hybrid vehicles and their respective maximum power acceptance (kW).
ChargeHub offers a range of home charging stations. To explore more, visit our online store.
The tables below compare charging times for different EV and plug-in hybrid models based on the charging station’s power and the vehicle’s maximum power acceptance.
