EV charging equipment is available in three different levels, depending upon the rate at which the battery is charged and the type of power (i.e. AC or DC).
Level 1- Plugs into a standard outlet (120 volts), average charging rate of 2-5 miles of range per hour of charging. Typical at home or the workplace.
Level 2 – Requires heavy duty electrical circuit and plug (240 volts), average charging rate of 10-20 miles of range per hour of charging. Can be installed at home or the workplace.
Level 3 (DC fast chargers) – 80% charge in 20-30 minutes (480 volts). Typically found at high traffic areas such a rest stops and shopping centers, not at home or the workplace.
