LEVEL 2 CHARGING
240 Volt PortableCordset or Wall-mounted Charging Station
208-240 VAC installation

Why Level 2?
Level 2 chargers allow you to charge your electric car in just a few hours while you sleep, work, enjoy a meal, or spend time with your family. A level 2 charger safely delivers AC power to your electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid so you’re always “fueled up” and ready to go.
Charge nearly 3 to 5 times faster than a Level 1 cordset, so you can get more miles conveniently
Reliable, safe, and energy efficient charging
Save money by utilizing off-peak rates when charging your vehicle
Level 2 charging refers to the voltage that the electric vehicle charger uses (240 volts). Level 2 chargers come in a variety of amperages typically ranging from 16 amps to 40 amps. The two most common Level 2 chargers are 16 and 30 amps, which also may be referred to as 3.3 kW and 7.2 kW respectively. These two amperages are the most common because they match the onboard charger (OBC) on many of the current electric vehicles.
Depending on the amperages, the difference between Level 2 chargers could be significant in charging times.
