**Level 1 (Standard Outlet):** You can charge using any 120V household outlet-no equipment needed. It's slow (about 2-3 miles of range per hour) but works in a pinch.

**Level 2 (Home Charger):** This is the most popular choice for ID.4 owners. A Level 2 charger installed in your garage or driveway delivers 240V power, adding 25-30 miles of range per hour. Installation typically costs a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars depending on your home's electrical setup.

Most owners find Level 2 charging perfect for overnight charging-plug in before bed, wake up with a full battery. Our team can discuss charging options and help you plan for home installation.
