As electric vehicles (EVs) like the Cadillac LYRIQ continue to grow in popularity, more and more Morrisville drivers are considering going electric. EVs come with a variety of benefits — one of which is multiple charging options. There are three main ways to charge an EV; you can use a Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 charger (DC fast charging). Level 1 is probably the most accessible, as it involves plugging an EV into a household outlet. Level 2 and Level 3 are faster, but what’s the difference? Keep reading to learn more about Level 2 and Level 3 charging, and what you can expect from both methods.
A Level 2 charging station uses a 240-volt outlet, and can be found at a public charging station or can be installed in your home. Having a Level 2 charging station installed in your home is a great way to keep your EV’s battery topped up without having to stop and recharge. You’ll have fewer interruptions during your travels around Apex. While a charging station installation can be pricey, you may be able to take advantage of incentives that’ll make the cost more affordable.
How fast does a Cadillac EV charge at a Level 2 charging station? For the 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ, a professionally installed Level 2 charging station can provide up to 51 miles of range per hour.
Level 3 chargers are also known as DC Fast Charging stations. As the name suggests, this is the fastest EV charger and can only be accessed at public charging stations. If you need a quick battery top-up during a road trip or long commute, a Level 3 charger can provide a large amount of range in minutes — rather than hours.
How fast does a Cadillac EV charge at a DC Fast Charging station? At a Level 3 charging station, you can get around 77 miles of range in about 10 minutes.
Alternating between charging methods is a good way to keep your Cadillac’s EV battery in good shape. Here’s a quick breakdown of the Level 2 and Level 3 charging, as well as Level 1:
