NEMA 14-50 50A Outlet
Installing a NEMA 14-50 outlet will allow you to use the mobile charger that comes with every Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) to get 6x charging speeds when compared to a 120v wall outlet. This is the least expensive option and can charge using 32-40 amps for 25-29 miles of range per hour.
Universal EV Wall Charger
A universal EV wall charger (J1772) will give you a dedicated charger that frees up your mobile charger to keep in the car for convenience or emergencies. No adapter needed for most BEVs and PHEVs, and Teslas come with the J1772 adapter. You can charge at 48 amps maximum to give you 41 miles of range per hour.

Wiregrass EV Charging LLC is here to help bring electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure to the Wiregrass area of Alabama. As electric vehicle owners ourselves, we understand how charging vehicles is different from refueling internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Charging becomes a destination itself and is critical to planning your routes as you drive. When electric vehicles charge on a DC fast-charger, the drivers stop for 20-45 minutes and snack, eat, shop, rest, and spend time in the immediate area. Businesses near the charging location get more customers and helps to increase revenue and sales. More business is always better, and EV drivers tend to shop more and spend more when they are recharging.
We saw that there were no public charging stations in Coffee, Dale, Geneva, Pike, and Covington Counties (as of Dec 2020).
Wiregrass EV Charging LLC is bringing EV charging to Southern Alabama and will help to bring solutions for drivers and businesses in the area. We are working to bring Direct Current (DC) Fast Chargers (DC-FC) (Level-3 Charging) to the area. DC-FC will help EV drivers to recharge quickly and get back on the road. We will also help to establish Level 2 240v charging for home, businesses, customers, and multi-family housing. Wiregrass EV Charging strives to be the premier EV Charging solution provider and subject-matter expert.
Electric Vehicle Charging Levels (see diagram below)
Level 1: 120v household wall outlet -
Charge-time: most EVs in more than 24+ hours (4mi/hr)
Level 2: 240v dedicated charger (EVSE) or 50a RV receptacle
Charge-time: most EVs in 2-4 hours (30-40mi/hr)
Level 3: 400-800v Charging Station (DC-FC) or 50a RV receptacle
Charge-time: most EVs in 2-4 hours (30-40mi/hr)
Electric Vehicle Charging Levels
Level 1 Charging
Home charging
Requires a grounded (three-prong) standard residential 120V outlet
Suitable for low- and medium-range plug-in hybrids
Suitable for all-electric battery electric vehicle drivers with low daily driving usage
Adds 5 miles per hour
Level 2 Charging
Home and public charging
Typically requires a charging unit on a 240V outlet, like one used to power an electric clothes dryer
May require a service upgrade by a certified electrician
The 240V outlet charges in about half the time it takes to charge at a 120V outlet
Most common public chargers
Public Level 2 chargers have a standard EV connection plug that fits all current vehicles, except for Teslas, which require an adapter
Adds 20-60 miles per hour, depending on amps
Level 3 DC Fast Charging
Fastest charge currently available
Commercial use
Adds 60-20 miles per 20 minutes, depending on amps
Charging at a DCFC station is only effective if your battery state-of-charge (SOC) is below 80 percent. After that point, charging will slow down significantly
