Level 2 Charging
Level 2 charging is considerably faster but requires installing an EVcharging station. Charging station installation requires a dedicated 240-volt or 208-volt electrical circuit, similar to what is required for a clothes dryer or electric range (see image below). Level 2 is found at many public and workplace charging stations. It uses the same standard connector as Level 1 charging, meaning any electric car can plug in at any Level 2 charger.
Depending on battery type, charger configura- tion and circuit capacity, Level 2 charging adds
about 14 to 35 miles of range per hour of charging time.
