This guide covers the spectrum of EV charging stations, from essential home EV charging stations (including popular 7kW home chargers and wall-mounted chargers) to the network of public EV charging stations and strategic commercial EV charging stations. We explore the different charging levels (Level 1, 2, and 3/DC Fast Charging), typical costs, critical installation factors for home car chargers, and the importance of safety. Additionally, we touch upon strategies for finding public stations, including potentially free options, using apps, understanding varying electricity costs, and the role of commercial charging stations for businesses. This article provides a clear roadmap for EV owners and property managers navigating the charging landscape.
