Level 2 chargers
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 requires a compatible charging cable, often referred to as a J1772 connector in North America. Many EV owners install these chargers at home to ensure convenient and efficient charging, making them a popular choice for daily use.
