Exploring EV chargers for an organization, business, or community can offer numerous benefits and opportunities, such as environmental sustainability, cost savings, employee benefits, and even government incentives. In this article, we will walk through different ChargePoint chargers to help determine the best fit for your need.
Electric vehicle charging stations come in three main levels: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 (also known as DC fast charging).
Level 1 chargers use a standard 120V household outlet and provide a slow charging speed, typically adding three to five miles of range per hour. These are best suited for home charging when time isn't a constraint.
Level 2 chargers use a 240V outlet, similar to those used for large appliances, and offer faster charging speeds, adding 12-80 miles of range per hour. These are commonly found in homes, workplaces, and public charging locations.
Level 3 or DC fast chargers use a 480V power supply and can add 100-250 miles of range in just 30-60 minutes. These are the quickest charging options available and are ideal for public charging stations, highway rest stops, and businesses looking to provide fast, convenient charging for their customers.
The ChargePoint CPE250 is a state-of-the-art Level 3 charging station that stands out from the competition due to its high-power output, compact design, and flexibility.
