A NEMA 15-15P Level 1 charger uses a standard 15-amp, 120V circuit. While it charges more slowly than Level 2 units, it’s often sufficient for plug-in hybrids or EV drivers with light daily usage. It’s also portable and can serve as a convenient backup.
Benefits
- Low Initial Expense: Typically plugs into existing 120V outlets with minimal additional equipment.
- Simple Setup: Quick to get running if your electrical system is already compatible.
- Portable: Handy for travel or backup, especially if you don’t drive many miles per day.
- Suitable for Mild Charging Needs: Ideal for short commutes or occasional charging.
