[ "KNOW MORE ABOUT ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGINGCharging your electric vehicle from a charging point is a smooth process: plug your vehicle into a charger that is linked to the power grid. However, it's not like all EV charging stations are made equal. Some require only a conventional wall socket to be plugged into, whereas others require a bespoke installation. The time taken to charge your automobile depends on the charger you choose.If you want to buy a low emission vehicle and a charging station for your home or workplace, the OLEV Grant is a government grant that allows you to get money off particular low-emission vehicles as well as money off EV charger installation.TYPES OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING1 ; Level 1 EV charging: Level 1 EV chargers are rated at 120 volts. The necessary gear, which consists of a cord with a connected control box, comes equipped with an all-electric car. Simply plug it into a three-prong wall socket. This charging method typically takes 15 to 20 hours to completely charge the vehicle's batteries, depending on their capacity. The benefit of employing this charging method is that this does not necessitate the installation of any additional hardware. Just park, close a three-pin wall socket and connect the charging cord. The disadvantage of this method is that it takes a long time to charge the batteries.2 ; EV charging at Level 2: The level 2 charger for EVs is rated at 240 volts. This form of charging necessitates the use of additional hardware. When a customer buys an electric car, certain manufacturers will provide an AC wall-box charger at their house and, in certain cases, at their workplace, either for free or at a lesser price, to allow level 2 charging. An electric car can be completely charged in as little as six hours or a little more, based on the battery capacity. Level 2 charging is significantly faster than Level 1 charging. Not only that but it is also touted to be more energy efficient. 3 ; Level 3 EV charging: Level 3 charger is available at public charging stations for electric vehicles. It is referred to as DC rapid charging because it converts AC electricity into DC current for immediate storage in EV batteries. It's typically rated at 480 volts. An EV could be charged to 85% in less than one hour using a DC fast charger. Tesla superchargers can achieve the same charging capacity in half an hour. The necessary hardware is fairly pricey and is usually located at public charging stations. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO CHARGE A BATTERY-POWERED VEHICLE?One of the most often asked topics is how long it would take to charge an electric vehicle. While fueling up with gasoline just takes a few minutes, charging an EV from empty to full takes much longer. How often you charge or have to charge, will also alter. For example, with gasoline, most people can drive their automobiles until the fuel gauge displays low on fuel, then fill the tank back up to full. This behaviour is motivated by the annoyance of having to visit a gas station. With electric vehicles and the ease of Electric Vehicle Charging Points at home, you might find that you 'fill up' the cell each day as it is used instead of waiting for it to run out. Electric vehicles frequently come with battery warranties depending on the quantity of charging cycles- 1 cycle equals 1 full charge and 1 full discharge, with several manufacturers giving basic battery warranties ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 miles.Also, the temperature is another aspect that may influence how frequently you have to charge your electric vehicle or van. Because lithium-ion batteries operate better in warm temperatures, you may notice a tiny decrease in the range of your EV in colder temperatures." ]
