Upgrade Your EV Charging Experience

If you own an electric vehicle, you're likely familiar with the standard charger that comes with it. While these chargers are a great initial solution, they typically take longer to fully charge your car and are best used for overnight charging at home. This can be inconvenient if you need a quick charge during the day. Luckily, various levels of EV chargers can speed up this process.

These include:

• Level 1 chargers - This is the basic charger that comes with your vehicle. It uses a standard household outlet and is ideal for overnight charging. However, it can take up to 20 hours to fully charge your EV.
• Level 2 chargers - These chargers are a significant upgrade from the standard Level 1. They require a 240-volt outlet and can fully charge your EV in just a few hours. These are perfect for homeowners who want a faster and more convenient charging solution.
• Level 3 chargers - Also known as DC Fast Chargers, these use a high-voltage direct current to charge your vehicle quickly. These are commonly found at commercial locations and can charge an EV up to 80% in around 30 minutes. They're ideal for businesses looking to offer fast charging to customers or employees.

At Wolcott, we can install Level 2 chargers for homeowners, drastically reducing your charging time. For commercial businesses, we offer Level 3 chargers so your customers and employees can charge their vehicles quickly and efficiently. You'll notice a big difference in your charging experience with our services.
