Most PHEVs currently on the market do not work with fast chargers. DCFC equipment can charge a BEV to 80 percent in just 20 minutes to 1 hour. Direct Current Fast Charging (DCFC)ĭirect current fast charging (DCFC) equipment offers rapid charging along heavy-traffic corridors at installed stations. Level 2 chargers can charge a BEV to 80 percent from empty in 4-10 hours and a PHEV in 1-2 hours. Level 2 equipment offers higher-rate AC charging through 240V (in residential applications) or 208V (in commercial applications) electrical service, and is common for home, workplace, and public charging. Level 1 chargers can take 40-50+ hours to charge a BEV to 80 percent from empty and 5-6 hours for a PHEV. Level 1 equipment provides charging through a common residential 120-volt (120V) AC outlet. Environmental Statutes and Executive OrdersĮVs can be charged using electric vehicle service equipment (EVSE) operating at different charging speeds.
