Levels of Charging Analogy

By now you know that there are 3 Levels of Charging: Level 3 D/C Fast Charging, Level 2 A/C Slow Charging and Level 1 Trickle Charging.

Which Level of Charging Should I Use?

An analogy explains this best:

Fast Charging is like Fast Food. You can eat it. But you don't want to eat it every meal every day. Because, just like if you were to eat fast food every meal every day, you wouldn't last as long. The same is true of your battery. If you feed your Electric Vehicle fast charging every meal every day, the battery won't last as long.

Level 3 D/C Fast Charging

Level 2 A/C Slow Charging

Slow Charging is like slow food, or a home cooked meal. Slow food is what you want to feed yourself for a long and healthy life. The same is true of your Electric Vehicle. You want to feed it slow charging for a long and healthy battery life.

Level 1 Trickle Charging

Trickle Charging is like an I/V Drip, it just trickles in. Just like an I/V drip, this is a form of sustenance, but this is not how you would want to feed yourself on a regular basis. The same is true for your Electric Car. Just like an I/V drip, trickle charging is best used in Emergency Situations. That is also why Level 1 Charging is also called "Emergency Charging".

D/C Fast Charging is like Fast food, you can eat it, but you don't want to eat it every meal every day. A/C Slow Charging is like slow food, this is what you want to feed your vehicle for a long and healthy life. Trickle Charging is like an I/V Drip, it is best used for emergency situations.

Happy Charging EVeryone!!!
