Level 1 Charging
Level 1 is the slowest method, but sufficient for drivers who charge overnight and travel 30 to 40 miles per day. All electric cars come standard with a cable to plug into a standard wall outlet with no equipment installation required. Level 1 works well at home, work or any- where—when you have sufficient time to charge. Level 1 charging is ideal for plug-in hybrid electric cars that have smaller batteries, but it can suffice for some 100 percent battery-elec- tric car owners depending on their daily range needs and length of time typically parked and charging.
Level 1 charging adds about 3.5 to 6.5 miles of driving range per hour of charging time.
