Welcome to EVCS! We’re excited to have you on board. This guide will help you understand the basics of charging with us, from the types of chargers available to how to manage your sessions and what affects charging speed.
Understanding charging options
EVCS offers two main types of charging:
Level 2 charging
- Provides a slower charge compared to Level 3.
- Ideal for overnight or extended parking.
Level 3 (DC Fast) charging
- Significantly faster than Level 2 charging.
- Provides rapid charging, ideal for quick top-ups on long trips.
- Ideal for rideshare drivers and high-mileage vehicles.
Charging time estimates
Charging times vary based on several factors including the type of charger, your vehicle’s battery size, and its current charge level. Here’s a general overview:
- Level 2: Typically takes several hours or more to fully charge a vehicle.
- Level 3: Typically charges a vehicle from 20% to 80% in less than an hour.
