Level 2 charging is a popular method for recharging electric vehicles (EVs) that balances speed and convenience. It uses a 240-volt AC power source, like what is used by household appliances like electric dryers. Level 2 chargers are standard in residential settings, workplaces, and public charging stations. Depending on the vehicle and charger specifications, they typically provide charging rates of 10 to 20 miles of range per hour. This makes them well-suited for overnight charging at home or use during the workday. Level 2 charging is slower than DC fast charging but is gentler on the battery, which can help prolong battery life.
