Question 7

What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 EV charging?

Accepted Answer

Level 1 uses a standard 120V outlet and adds about 4 miles of range per hour. Level 2 uses a dedicated 240V circuit and adds about 25-45 miles per hour, charging most vehicles overnight. Powercore installs Level 2 residential and commercial EV charging stations with proper panel upgrades.

Question 8

What is California Electric Rule 29 for EV charging?

Accepted Answer

Under CPUC mandates, PG&E and SCE Electric Rule 29 (and SDG&E Rule 45) require utility providers to fund 100% of distribution infrastructure on the utility side of your meter for commercial EV charging installations. This can absorb up to 80% of total electrification costs.
