Plug-in EV Charger Outlets

Plug-in EV chargers use 120-volt and 240-volt outlets.

120-Volt EV Charger Outlets

120-volt outlets (NEMA 5-15) are common in homes and power devices like phones and TVs. They work with Level 1 chargers, providing slower charging speeds—about four miles of range per hour.

240-Volt EV Charger Outlets

240-volt outlets include NEMA 14-30, 14-50, 10-30, 10-50, and 6-50. These outlets are used for Level 2 chargers, offering faster charging speeds—20-30 miles of range per hour. Plug-in Level 2 chargers may require professional installation and panel upgrades.

Level 1 EV Charger Outlets

Level 1 EV chargers use 120-volt outlets (NEMA 5-15) and don’t require professional installation. However, they charge slower, adding about four miles of range per hour.

Level 2 EV Charger Outlets

Level 2 EV chargers require 240-volt outlets such as NEMA 14-30, 14-50, 10-30, 10-50, and 6-50, and charge faster, adding 20-30 miles of range per hour. They are 5-8 times faster than Level 1 chargers but may need a professional electrician and possible panel upgrades.
