Plug-in EV Charging Outlets

Our Plug-in EV Charging Outlets section features expert-rated residential and commercial plug-in EV charging outlets. A plug-in EV charging outlet, also known as a car charger receptacle, serves as the critical interface between the charger and the electric vehicle, providing the electrical connection necessary for charging. Whether you’re installing a Level 1 or Level 2 car charger electrical outlet, these outlets are designed to meet your charging needs with reliability and efficiency.

Plug-in EV charging outlets provide a simple and effective way to charge your electric vehicle at home.

Level 1 Electric Car Charging Outlets

Level 1 chargers are designed to work with standard 120-volt car charger outlets, typically the NEMA 5-15 or NEMA 6-20 outlet found in most homes. This makes them very versatile and easy to install, as they don’t require additional electrical services. Simply plug the charger into the outlet, and you’re ready to charge. However, Level 1 chargers are less powerful and charge your car more slowly. An electric car can travel about four miles for every hour plugged into a Level 1 charger.

Level 2 Electric Car Charging Outlets

Level 2 chargers require a 240v car charger outlet, providing more power for faster charging. These outlets include NEMA 14-30, 14-50, 10-30, 10-50, and 6-50. With a Level 2 car charger electrical outlet, an electric vehicle can travel 20 to 30 miles for every hour of charging, depending on the outlet’s amp rating. Higher-amp outlets charge more quickly, while lower-amp outlets provide slower charging. Car charger electrical outlets at this level are ideal for those who need to charge their vehicle more quickly or have higher daily driving demands.
