Many of you must have already booked the Tesla Electric car and quite possibly going to receive it shortly. Some of you must be getting your car within a very short period.
Whatever may be the case, you need to understand that this car will be powered by a rechargeable battery, almost similar to what you use in your mobile phones or laptops. Therefore, to run your car, you need to regularly recharge the battery of your EV so that you can drive your car.
Jucer is a company that deals with all the parts of accessories of these EVs and you may often need a type 1 to type 2 adapter for charging the battery of your EV, which is also available with this company.
Before going any further let us first explain to you what level 1 and level 2 charging really means.
Level 1 charging
This translates to around 12 km. of range every hour of charging for an ordinary EV or to approx. 22 hours for a complete recharge for a typical Tesla. It is unusual for EV drivers to entirely recharge their batteries from empty to full instead, they “top up” their batteries after a few short miles of driving that day.
Level 2 charging
240V, which is what an oven or electric dryer needs, is provided by Level 2. It passes through a certain box and also a cord that increases safety by delaying the delivery of power to the socket until it is inserted into an electric vehicle (EV). A wide range of rates for charging is possible at Level 2, all the way up to 19.2 kilowatts, or approximately 112 kilometres of range each hour of charging.
However, the maximum power is limited because the electronics inside the car convert the wall electricity into the correct form for charging the battery. There are lots of level 2 chargers available in public locations including malls, schools, and the garages of business buildings.
What are the EV charging options available?
The car’s included cable charger is not required to be used. Even though your granny cable can be slow and is called that because it charges at the slowest rate.
You are utilizing the cord from your boot when it indicates in the information about the charger that it may take up to 4, 10, or sometimes even 42 hours to charge.
There is a tonne of alternative fantastic EV chargers available that will complete the task more quickly and effectively and appear adorable while doing it.
DC fast charging
The fastest method for charging EVs right now is with a DC fast charger, which uses direct current. All EVs can use DC fast chargers, although using the charging station may call for adapters or particular plugs.
As electric vehicles continue to gain popularity and as governments, towns, and businesses start to invest in the essential EV infrastructure, DC fast-charging stations will become more and more widely available.
