What is a Level 1 EV Charger?

A Level 1 EV charger uses 120V at 8-16A, delivering 1.0-1.9 kW for 2-5 miles per hour. It plugs into standard outlets, making it a simple, low-cost option for overnight home charging, best suited for light EV users.

Diagram illustrating Level 1 EV charging setup with a NEMA 5-15 outlet, taking 6-22 hours for a full charge, recommended for home chargers. Features include standard 120V power, adding 5 miles per hour charge, 1.3 - 2.4 kW power, single-phase AC power, 12-16 amps, typical 1.4 - 1.9 kW charging load, utilizing J1772 (Type 1) connectors.

What Are the Electrical Requirements for a Level 1 EV Charger?

A Level 1 EV charger requires a 120V single-phase circuit with a dedicated 15A or 20A breaker. It connects to a NEMA 5-15 or NEMA 5-20 outlet, using 14 AWG or 12 AWG copper wire. Proper EV charger grounding and adherence to the NEC 80% circuit rule ensure safe, reliable, and efficient home EV charging.
