Charging Station for Electric Vehicles – Solar Powered

P. C. McKenzie Company is proud to represent Paradise Energy Solutions, located in Paradise Pa, helping business to make a difference using solar energy.

We believe there are many advantages to solar power. These include:

  1. The impact on the environment. Zero pollutants. Zero Carbon Dioxide.
  2. Direct reduction of your energy bill
  3. Consistent energy production during peak hours
  4. Availability of sunshine to produce electricity
  5. Reduces risk due to grid blackouts

Please check back to learn more about the future and the role solar energy will play in your facility.

 

Electric Charging Juice Bar

Level 1 – Level 2 and Level 3 – Electric Vehicle Recharging 

There are three basic forms of electric vehicle recharging designated as level 1 through level 3. 

Level 1 Electric Charging

Level 1 charging use a 120 volt AC plug and requires a dedicated circuit. This type of charging option is standard on electric vehicles and does not require the installation of recharging equipment. The recharging cord has a standard, three-prong plug on one end and a connector on the other.

Level 1 charging can take 8 to 12 hours to completely charge a battery and is normally done overnight. You might say Level 1 charging is to electrical vehicle recharging as time-fill is to NGV Refueling.

Level 2 Electric Charging

Level 2 Charging is accomplished through a 240V AC connection with a dedicated 40 amp circuit. This level of charging equipment is commonly found public spaces.  Juice Bar offers a level 2 charging unit that can be mounted on a pedestal, wall mounted or even placed on a light pole. A cord from the recharging unit connects directly to the vehicle using the same connector.

Level 2 charging is faster than Level 1 typically taking between 4 to 6 hours to completely charge the battery.  In the NGV world this would be a buffer fill system.

Level 3 Electric Charging 

If Level 2 charging is compared to an NGV buffer fill, then Level 3 would be the Fast Fill of the EV charging world. Level 3 charging equipment with CHAdeMO technology charges through a 480V direct current plug. These Level 3 chargers can provide 80% of a charge in 30 minutes. However, these chargers may not be compatible with all electric vehicles and the charge itself may not be acceptable to all vehicles. Level 3 chargers use different connectors than Level 2 and Level 1.

The 3 Basic Forms of Electric Vehicle Recharging
There are three basic forms of electric vehicle recharging designated as level 1 through level 3.

There is also the charger called the On-board charger - This is the charging device for Level 1 and Level 2 charging that comes factory-installed. It converts your AC power from the wall to DC power that charges the battery in your new electric vehicle. Charging speeds may vary, but the most common on-board chargers are 6.6 kW on battery electric vehicles and 3.3 kW on plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.
