You don’t need a special charger for an electric car. Plug-in electric cars can be charged using a standard 120-volt wall socket, this is referred to as Level 1 charging. Whilst this is easy to achieve, it takes a long time and will not be sufficient to charge a fully electric vehicle that is used on a daily basis.
Electric car owners also have the option of installing a 220V ‘Level 2 charging’ station at their homes that can charge at a quicker pace.
