Level 1 vs Level 2
Level 1 uses a standard 120V outlet — adds about 8 km of range per hour. Level 2 uses 240V — adds 30–50 km per hour. For most Guelph drivers, Level 2 is the practical choice.
What's Required
A dedicated 240V circuit (40–60 amp), ESA permit, and a licensed electrician. Cost typically runs $800–$1,500 installed.
