How long does it take to charge an electric vehicle?

AC Level 1
Varies based on car and location, but typically adds about 4 miles per hour and takes about 8-16 hours to fully charge.​

AC Level 2 (Most Popular for Home & Business)
The most common home-charging option; adds 20-30 miles per hour and takes 6-8 hours to fully charge full EV cars, and less than 1 hour to fully charge most plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).

Level 3 / DC Fast Charging (DCFC)
Also known as DC fast charging; adds 40-50+ miles per hour depending on kW power of the charge unit and can charge 80% of your battery in as low as 30 minutes.

Tesla Supercharger / V3
Tesla Superchargers charge at a rate of 250kW, or 75 miles in 5 minutes. Superchargers are available to Tesla customers only.

  • Electric cars use electricity stored in a battery pack to power the electric motor. Since battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are run entirely on electricity, they are also called all-electric vehicles. While electric vehicles don’t produce tailpipe pollution, the electricity they use could be produced from a coal- or gas-powered power plant.

    UCSUSA research shows that battery electric cars that charge off the gas-dominated grid still produce less pollution than their gas-powered counterparts, while BEVs powered by renewable energy sources are virtually emission free.

  • A: Charging at home is significantly cheaper than gasoline. On Long Island, the average residential electricity rate means a full charge for a typical EV costs roughly $8–15, compared to $40–60 to fill a gas tank. PSEG Long Island's Time-of-Day rate (Rate 195) offers a 40% discount when you charge during off-peak hours (typically overnight), reucing costs even further. Many EV owners report saving $1,000–$2,000 per year on fuel costs.

  • Electricity costs 21 cents/kWh at your home if you live on Long Island or New York City. With solar panels you could pay as low as 8 cents/kWh, taking into account the levelized cost of energy. Charging at a public station could cost up to twice as much as home with all-in rates of up to 50 cents/kWh or more due to hourly rates/charge fees.

  • Several incentive programs are currently available for Long Island residents and businesses. For residential installations: PSEG Long Island offers a $200 Level 2 charger rebate ($300 in Disadvantaged Communities), and the federal 30C Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Tax Credit provides up to 30% of installation costs (up to $1,000) for eligible locations — installations must be completed by June 30, 2026. For commercial installations: PSEG Long Island's EV Make Ready program can cover 50–90% of infrastructure costs for Level 2 and DC fast charging stations, and businesses may qualify for the federal 30C commercial credit of up to $100,000 per charging port. NYSERDA's Charge Ready NY 2.0 program also offers incentives for workplace and multifamily installations. IllumiGEN helps you identify and apply for every incentive you qualify for.

  • Workplace charging allows employees to charge their EVs during work hours, making it practical for staff who can't charge at home or who want to extend their daily range. Employers typically install Level 2 chargers in parking areas and can choose to offer charging free, at cost, or as a paid amenity. NYSERDA's Charge Ready NY 2.0 program provides incentives specifically for workplace installations. IllumiGEN designs workplace charging solutions that include load management to prevent demand spikes, and we coordinate with PSEG Long Island on commercial Make Ready incentives to minimize your out-of-pocket costs.

Illumigen Electric Long Island: Certified Partner of Generac Generators

Bidirectional Charging & Smart Energy Integration

With bidirectional charging, your vehicle can power your home during an outage, reduce peak energy costs, and integrate with your home energy ecosystem.

IllumiGEN specializes in bidirectional EV charging systems that allow your vehicle to send power back to your home (V2H — vehicle-to-home) or back to the grid (V2G — vehicle-to-grid). Combined with a Generac PWRcell battery storage system and a standby generator, your home becomes a self-sufficient energy hub that can weather any storm.
This is the Home Energy Ecosystem approach highlighted in our brochure, and it's what separates IllumiGEN from competitors who only install chargers.
We design complete energy solutions: generator + battery storage + bidirectional EV charger + smartcontrols, all working together.

  • We handle all electrical permitting and inspection coordination for EV charger installations across Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Our team is licensed across Long Island's municipalities and understands the specific code requirements for residential, commercial, and multifamily EV installations, including panel upgrades, dedicated circuit requirements, and outdoor installation codes.

  • Not always, but it depends on your current electrical panel capacity. A Level 2 EV charger typically requires a dedicated 40–50 amp, 240V circuit. If your panel is already near capacity (common in older Long Island homes with 100-amp panels), an upgrade to 200 amps may be necessary. IllumiGEN evaluates your panel during our free estimate and provides transparent pricing for any upgrades needed.

  • Absolutely. We install chargers for every electric vehicle brand and charger manufacturer, including Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint Home Flex and commercial stations, Leviton, Enel X JuiceBox, Clipper Creek, and more. Whether you drive a Tesla, Ford, Chevrolet, BMW, Hyundai, Rivian, or any other EV, we'll recommend the right charger for your vehicle and electrical setup.
