How Do Electric Car Charging Stations Work?

Mercedes-Benz EV Charging

 

You’ve decided to pave the way for the future by investing in a Mercedes-Benz electric vehicle. First, we congratulate you on helping to join the innovative electric revolution for our cars. If you’re new to the world of electric vehicles (EVs), you may be wondering how electric car charging stations work.

What Are the EV Charging Levels?

Your Mercedes-Benz electric vehicle will come with a battery that needs to be charged often. What are the various levels of charging your Mercedes-Benz EV? There are three different types of levels: 

Level 1

The first type of charging is available for essentially all EVs and plug-in hybrids. This charger will come with your Mercedes-Benz electric purchase, no matter if it’s a car or SUV. Compatible with the standard 120-volt household AC unit, Level 1 charging is used for charging your EV overnight at home or in an emergency situation. It charges about two to five miles of range per hour.

Level 2

If you’re looking to up the charging capabilities of your EV, consider getting a Level 2 charging station installed in your garage near Hackettstown. With access to a 240-volt AC outlet, the at-home charger can add 10 to 60 miles of range per hour. This’ll keep your Mercedes-Benz electric vehicle charged for the day ahead. You’ll want to consult a technician to properly install this charging station and make sure that it complies with local, state, and national regulations.

Level 3

The final charging level comes equipped with capabilities on Mercedes-Benz all-electric vehicles. Charging at 480-volt DC, these quickly-charging stations are found outside the home and at public charging stations. You can find the charging stations in large shopping complexes, rest areas, and other high-traffic sections near Hamburg.
