What is level 2 charging?
Level 2 charging simply is the fastest available charging you can find at home. All homes have power capable of supplying level 2 charging. If you look at your circuit breaker at home you will see typically 30, 40 and 50 amps circuits. These were traditionally used for electric dryers, washing machines, hot tubes and power tools. Level 2 electric vehicle chargers use these circuits with typically upto 250 volt supply (The voltage rating provided is the highest voltage allowed for use with an electrical device such as an EV chargers). Most level 2 EV chargers are 240 or 250 volt.
