Can you charge two electric cars at 220v?
My household is becoming a two-electric car home, and we're a bit nervous about our charging situation. Is it possible to charge two electric cars at 220v simultaneously?

Great question—
adding a new electric
car can complicate things. However, you can charge two electric vehicles on 220v outlet.While most people are okay with sharing one charger, you may decide to have two charging points in your multi-EV household. But before you decide which method is best for you, let’s look at the different charging levels.
- Level 1 - These charging stations are found in a standard household outlet. It uses 120v of power and is typical for charging items like your TV, vacuum cleaner, and mobile devices.
- Level 2 - These charging stations use 220v or 240v. 220v is for electronics like your oven and dishwasher. Level 2 charging is considered fast charging and can cut your time but four to eight hours.
To charge your electric vehicles with a 220v, you will need to install a separate circuit dedicated to your cars. If you need to charge your car frequently, this type of charging is ideal. It’s also great to use when splitting power between two electric vehicles.
