How Fast Do You Really Need to Charge?
Trickle(Lvl 1) vs Faster (Lvl 2) Charging
(Lvl 1 – Slow)
Level 1 “trickle” charging uses a normal socket. It’s fine for plug-in hybrids or short-range drivers, but takes up to 40 hours for a full EV battery.
(Lvl 2 – Faster)
Level 2 chargers deliver 5–10 × faster charging; usually a full charge overnight. They’re safer, smarter, and unlock solar or off-peak automation for real savings.
