What Are the Common Charging Options?
Level I: Convenience at Your Fingertips
This charging level offers the convenience of charging your PHEV or EV at home using a 120-V, 3-prong wall outlet. While it may take longer than other options, the included Level I charger (115V in most models) makes the process incredibly easy and hassle-free, giving you peace of mind.
Level II: An Efficient Charging Option
Looking for a faster, more efficient charging option? Level II charging is a preferred option. It requires a specialized in-home installation of the included Level II 240-V charger. Most public charging stations offer this facility, but for the fastest and most efficient charging experience, consider installing the Level II charging option at home or your preferred location.
Level III or DC Fast Charging: Enjoy Instant Charging Power
As the name suggests, the DC fast charging option instantly charges your electric vehicles to cover great distances. Available at public charging stations, Level III is the most reliable and accessible charging option. For added convenience, you can use the in-vehicle app to locate the nearby charging stations whenever you need to.
