Level 1 charging refers to the slowest form of EV charging, using a standard 120V household outlet. This method typically provides around 3-5 miles of range per hour, making it suitable for overnight charging at home but impractical for long trips or quick top-ups. Level 1 chargers are often included with EV purchases, allowing drivers to plug into any standard outlet without needing special equipment. However, due to its slow speed, many EV owners opt for faster Level 2 chargers for daily use.
