Charging levels

Level 1 vs Level 2 vs DC fast charging cost.

Charging speed and charging price are different decisions. Level 1 and Level 2 often use home electricity; DC fast charging usually costs more.

Cost pattern

Level 1 and Level 2 charging at home usually share the same electricity rate. DC fast charging is faster, but the per-kWh price can be much higher because it includes infrastructure, demand, and network costs.

Best use cases

Level 1: low mileage, overnight charging, no installation.
Level 2: most convenient home charging for daily drivers.
DC fast: road trips and quick top-ups.
