Know charging levels
Level 1 uses standard outlets; Level 2 requires a 240V circuit for faster daily charging.
Connector types
Match your car to common plugs (J1772, CCS, NACS); use adapters only as approved.
Install safely at home
Use a licensed electrician, dedicated circuit, and follow local codes; mount the EVSE securely.
Use public stations smartly
Plan stops with apps, avoid charging to 100% daily, and unplug promptly to share access.
