30-40 hoursLevel 1 charging uses a standard 120-volt outlet. It is best used for plug-in electric hybrid vehicles with small batteries of less than 25 kWh. A level 1 charge may be right for you if you drive your hybrid vehicle sparingly or for short distances. We recommend a higher charge if you drive your hybrid often or daily.

Level 2 works great for daily use and can be installed in various spaces, including offices, and large public locations such as shopping plazas and train stations. Though level 2 charges fast, they often require intensive planning and installations to function properly. Complex circuitry and breaker box installation are required.
