Level 1 vs Level 2
Is it cheaper to charge with a level 1 or level 2 charger?
Level 1 charging usually costs less to install because it uses an existing 120V outlet, but it adds less range per hour.
Level 2 costs more upfront for the circuit and equipment while often lowering per-mile charging hassle for daily drivers.
Compare total picture
Electricity rates per kWh are similar - the difference is speed and whether you need public charging to fill gaps.
Most homeowners who can charge at home choose Level 2 for convenience, not because Level 1 electricity is cheaper.
