What’s Your EV’s Charging Port?

Which Charger is Right for You?

NEMA 5-15

Standard 3-prong household outlet (120V). The most common plug type found in homes across North America. Perfect for overnight charging at 12-15A.

NEMA 14-50

Heavy-duty 4-prong outlet (240V). Commonly used for RVs and dryers. Delivers faster Level 2 charging at up to 40A for significantly reduced charge times.

How to Choose

Consider your daily driving distance and available outlet type. Level 1 (NEMA 5-15) adds 3-5 miles/hour, while Level 2 (NEMA 14-50) adds 25-30 miles/hour.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of EV chargers are there?

There are three main types of EV chargers: Level 1 and Level 2 ACcharging, and DC Fast Charging.

Do all EV chargers have the same plug ?

No, they do not. Different manufacturers produce different adapters and plugs, which means the charger you buy will likely not be compatible with all charging points. Luckily, EVDANCE has a wide range of EV Charging Adapters to help you find the right one for your needs!

What is the most common EV charger?

The most common EV charger is Level I. It plugs directly into your standard l10/120 V household socket and usually comes with your purchase of an EV, much as when you buy a smartphone.

Do all electric cars use the same charging standard?

There are two main charging standards: the Tesla and the J1772/CCS. All Tesla EVs use the same charger for Level 1, Level 2, and DC Fast Charging. All other EVs in North America use the J1772 for Level 1 and Level 2 but use CCS chargers for DC Fast Charging.
