What is Level 2 charging?

Level 2 charging refers to the use of a dedicated electric vehicle (EV) charging station that operates on a 240V power supply, which allows for significantly faster charging compared to Level 1 charging, which typically utilizes a standard 120V outlet. This higher voltage enables a greater flow of electricity to the vehicle's battery, reducing charging times and making it more convenient for users who need to replenish their battery more quickly, especially when they have limited time to charge.

The dedicated stations are designed specifically for this higher voltage, incorporating safety features and reduced charging times that enhance the overall EV charging experience. Level 2 chargers are commonly found in residential settings, workplaces, and public charging stations, making them an essential option for EV owners looking to efficiently manage their charging needs.

In contrast, the other options either mention charging through methods that do not align with standard Level 2 protocols or utilize inappropriate technologies for charging EVs.
