Level 2 chargers are electric vehicle (EV) charging stations that provide a faster charging option compared to standard home outlets. They typically operate at 240 volts and can deliver between 3.3 kW to 19.2 kW of power, allowing most EVs to charge in a few hours. These chargers are commonly found in public charging stations, workplaces, and residential settings.
Using a Level 2 charger can significantly reduce the time it takes to recharge an EV's battery. For example, a Tesla Model 3 can gain about 25 to 30 miles of range per hour of charging. This makes Level 2 chargers a popular choice for daily use and longer trips.
