16 Amp Level 1 charger vs 16 Amp Level 2 charger
A 16 Amp Level 1 charger and a 16 Amp Level 2 charger differ primarily in their charging speed and electrical requirements.
16 Amp Level 1 Charger
- Voltage: Uses standard 120V household outlets.
- Charging Speed: Delivers around 1.4 kW, typically adding about 3-5 miles of range per hour of charging.
- Usage: Ideal for overnight charging at home, but slower compared to Level 2.
16 Amp Level 2 Charger
- Voltage: Uses a 240V outlet, which is common for higher-power appliances.
- Charging Speed: Delivers up to 3.8 kW, providing a much faster charge, typically adding 12-20 miles of range per hour.
- Usage: Suitable for quicker, more efficient charging at home or commercial locations.
In summary, a Level 2 charger with the same amperage (16 amps) charges significantly faster than a Level 1 charger due to the higher voltage.
16 Amp EV Charger Installation
The 16 Amp EV charger installation involves connecting the charger to a NEMA outlet or hardwiring it. The system uses a 20A double-pole dedicated circuit breaker, with L1 and L2 wires sized at #12 AWG, and the ground wire between 12-14 AWG. We used a 1/2 to 1-inch conduit to protect the wires from the electrical panel to the EV charger outlet or junction box.
