What is the Difference Between Level 1, 2 and 3 EV Chargers

The level of charging refers to the voltage used by the charging station. Standard outlets in the United States are at 110 – 120 volts.

Level 1 charging is done at this voltage. A majority of the electric vehicles released prior to 2010 utilize a Level 1 charging station. Level 1 charging can take as much as 8 – 16 hours to fully charge depending on the car and level of charge on the battery.

Level 2 charging uses 208 – 240 volts and typically have a charge time of 4–6 hours to completely charge a vehicle.

Level 3 charging uses 440 volts and are a great fit for highway charging, or anywhere a quick charge is needed.

The Level 3 charging stations that are currently available can provide 80% of a full charge in fewer than 30 minutes.

Electrical FAQs

Why type of circuit breaker is required?

Current production JuiceBar Gen 3 chargers require one dedicated circuit (breaker) per charging connector, with a minimum 20% headspace, or in accordance with local electrical guidelines.

For example: a dual 40-amp charger will require two 50-amp circuit breakers to safely power the charger.

A short list of breaker values can be found on page 10 of the latest installation manual.

Do JuiceBar Chargers come with GFCI Protection?em

JuiceBar Gen 3 chargers are not equipped with a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter), however, they are equipped with a CCID20 (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device).

The CCID20 functionally provides similar ground fault protection (protection which prevents someone from being shocked if in contact with the charger) while also providing the added benefit of an automatic reset feature. This allows the charging circuit to resume charging once the fault condition has been cleared.

The CCID20 is an improvement over GFCI which normally requires a manual reset of the GFCI to restore function.

Learn More
If I have a dual circuit breaker JuiceBar Gen 3 charger, can I feed it using a single circuit (breaker) at the panel by using a tap or jumpers inside the charger?

No, dual circuit breaker JuiceBar Gen 3 chargers require two dedicated double pole circuit breakers at the panel, one feeding each side of the charger.

Tapping/jumping from breaker to breaker inside the charger will be considered improper installation and will void the warranty.

Learn More
What size cable can the JuiceBar charger accommodate?

JuiceBar Gen 3 terminal block chargers can accommodate up to 1/0 AWG cables for current carrying terminal blocks, and from 16 AWG-2 AWG on the ground terminal block.

JuiceBar Gen 3 circuit breaker chargers can accommodate cables from 8 AWG – 1/0 AWG cables.
