Levels of Electric Car Chargers
When it comes to electric vehicle (EV) charging, there are three main levels of chargers, each offering different charging speeds and installation requirements. Understanding these levels can help you choose the right option for your needs, whether you're looking for a home solution or a commercial charging station.
At Shepherd Electric Company, we have extensive experience working with all levels of EV chargers and are fully prepared to handle any project, no matter the size or scope.
The three types of EV chargers include:
- Level 1 (Standard Home Charging): These chargers use a standard 120-volt household outlet. They provide 2 to 5 miles of range per hour of charging and are ideal for overnight charging at home for those with shorter commutes.
- Level 2 (Faster Residential or Commercial Charging): These chargers use a 240-volt outlet, similar to the power used by large appliances like dryers or ovens. They provide 10 to 60 miles of range per hour and are great for faster home charging or businesses looking to offer public charging stations.
- Level 3 DC Fast Chargers (Rapid Commercial Charging): These chargers use direct current (DC) instead of alternating current (AC) to provide rapid charging at much higher speeds. They can charge an EV to 80% in as little as 30 minutes. They are typically found at public charging stations and large commercial locations.
No matter which charging solution you're interested in, Shepherd Electric Company has the expertise to provide safe, efficient installation and maintenance tailored to your needs. Whether you need a simple home charger or a network of commercial chargers, we are equipped to take on any project, large or small.

Can My House Accommodate an EV Charger?
Whether your house can accommodate an EV charger depends on several factors, but most homes can be upgraded to support one with the right planning and expertise.
Here are a few key considerations to determine if your home is ready for an electric vehicle (EV) charger:
- Adequate amperage: EV chargers, especially level 2 chargers, require a 240-volt outlet and may need a dedicated circuit in your electrical panel. Our licensed electricians can assess whether your panel needs an upgrade to accommodate the charger.
- Available space: Most EV chargers require a dedicated parking space and a nearby power source. You may need to consider rewiring your electrical system to meet these needs.
- Age of your electrical system: If your home has an older electrical system, it may not be up to code or capable of handling additional loads.
- Permitting and local codes: There may be local building codes or permit requirements for the installation of an EV charger. Our team is familiar with these regulations.
Shepherd Electric Company can assess your home’s electrical system and help determine what upgrades, if any, are needed to safely install and operate an EV charger. Our highly trained professionals provide installations that meet all necessary codes while also providing expert guidance on choosing the right charger for your home or business.
