Types of electric vehicle charging stations.

· Level I

120 volts, 20 amperes

o NEVs (Neighborhood Electric Vehicles), Golf carts, PHEVs (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vechicles)

o Standard 120V 20A GFCI receptacle, with weatherproof-in-use cover for outdoor locations.

o Typical charging rate about four miles of range per hour of charging.

· Level II

208-240 volts, single phase, 40 amperes

o Full-function EVs, possibly some PHEVs. High performance EVs, such as Tesla,can use Level II, but will charge more slowly.

o Typical charging rate about 15-20 miles of range per hour of charging.

· Level II enhanced

208-240 volts, single phase, 50 or 60 amperes.

o High performance EVs, such as Tesla.

o Typical charging rate about 30 miles of range per hour of charging.

· Level II+

208-240 volts, single phase, 90 or 100 amperes

o High-performance EVs (Tesla Roadster, etc.)

o Typical charging rate about 45-50 miles of range per hour of charging.

· Level III

480 volts, three phase, high amperage, fast charging, off-board charger, DC output

o Special use, dedicated charging locations, pay for charge – fueling station concept.

o Goal of 80% charge in 10 minutes.
