Black Light Electric • December 30, 2023

Everybody and everybody is making electric cars. If you are thinking about buying one, a good home charging station should be on your shopping list.  Here are a few informative points on car charging stations.


There Are Two Main Types


As the marketing director of Black Light Electric, I would like to provide you with an informative article on the types of electric vehicle chargers, popular brand name chargers, and popular electric vehicles. I will also discuss the challenges associated with locating charging stations and installing your own charger. Finally, I will explain how our company can help solve these problems by safely and professionally installing residential or commercial charging stations.


Electric Vehicle Chargers: There are two main types of electric vehicle chargers: alternating current (AC) chargers and direct current (DC) chargers. AC chargers provide alternating-current electricity to the vehicle and come in Level 1 and Level 2 chargers. DC chargers, also known as fast chargers, are a Level 3 charger that provides direct current electricity to the vehicle. Of course, the smart folk are monitoring the long term impacts of the different methods.



Popular Brand Name Chargers: Here are some popular brand name chargers:

  1. JuiceBox 40 Smart Charging Station: This is the best overall charger
  2. EVoCharge Electric Vehicle Charging Station: This is the best midrange charger
  3. Megear Level 1+2 Charger: This is the most affordable charger
  4. Wallbox Pulsar Plus Ultra Compact Charger: This is the best premium charger
  5. Grizzl-E 40 Amp Charger: This is the best wall mount charger



Challenges Associated with Locating Charging Stations


One of the biggest challenges associated with locating charging stations is the lack of standardization. There are many different types of charging stations, and they all have different connectors and power levels. This can make it difficult to find a charging station that is compatible with your electric vehicle 4. Another challenge is the lack of charging stations in certain areas. This can make it difficult to plan long trips and can cause range anxiety. Of course, you don't want to deal with THESE people if you don't have to. *SMH*

Should you DIY your own Install


Charging your electric car without a proper charger can be dangerous and can cause serious damage to your electric vehicle. Some people have tried to charge their electric cars using extension cords or other makeshift methods, which can lead to electrical hazards and damage to the vehicle. It is important to use a proper charger that is designed for your electric vehicle to ensure that it is charged safely and efficiently. You are too smart for that, so we will move right along.


Do you need the permitting hassle? Depending on where you live, you may need to obtain a permit before you can install a charger. Finally, proper placement of the charger is important to ensure that it is safe and convenient to use.
