EV Charger Installation Lakewood, CO
If you’re an electrical vehicle (EV) owner, you’re already reaping the eco-friendly benefits of not having to worry about gas prices. But are you taking full advantage of the convenience your EV can give you?
Generally speaking, EVs come standard with a dealership-provided Level 1 charging station that plugs right into the wall. These chargers are slow and can take more time than is ideal to give your EV a full charge. However, there are better options out there! Level 2 charging stations are ideal for homeowners who use their EVs daily or have longer commutes. No more waiting a full day just to get to a half charge!
When it comes to having the best EV charging station for your home in Lakewood, CO, Mighty Pine Heating & Air is the local team of choice. Our highly skilled electricians are experienced with EV charging and are ready to give you the convenience of having a fast, reliable EV car charging station that’s miles better than the standard one you may be using today!

First, Let’s Take a Look at the Different Types of EV Chargers
Level 1 EV Chargers
A Level 1 charger is what comes with your purchase of an EV. You can plug these into a regular 120V outlet. Level 1 chargers have the lowest charging speed and can take up to 24 hours to fully charge an EV. The upside to a Level 1 charger is that it doesn’t take any extra steps to start charging. Still, at an average range of 2-4 miles per hour spent charging, these are not very efficient compared to higher-level chargers.
If you own a PHEV and not a BEV and only drive a few miles a day, you might be just fine with this type of charger. However, BEV owners and EV owners who want to be able to fully charge their car and extend their derivable range probably won’t enjoy the restrictions of such slow charging speed.
Level 2 EV Chargers
A Level 2 EV charger is the ideal option for homeowners with an EV. These chargers require a 240V connection, which can mean some electrical work depending on your panel (something we can address for you!). Level 2 chargers operate at 3-4x higher amperage than a Level 1 charger, which means charging speeds of 6-8 times faster! This translates to roughly 12-30 miles of range per hour spent charging. For most EV owners, this means just a few hours plugged in and you’ll be well on your way to a full charge – and an overnight charge is definitely enough to fully top off your EV.
Benefits of upgrading to a Level 2 EV car charging station at home:
- Ability to charge your vehicle faster
- Extend your driving range
- No more searching for the nearest public charging spot
- Save money by paying less for electricity
- Safer charging at home than in public
Level 3 EV Chargers
Level 3 charging stations use direct current (DC), and are often referred to as “superchargers”. These require specialized electrical connection and in many cases can actually exceed the rate at which your EV can charge. Level 3 chargers are generally only used in commercial settings and not ideal for private use for homeowners. Still, you may encounter and/or use a Level 3 charger at a public station.
