TL;DR
Level 2 charging is the 240-volt mode of refueling an electric vehicle at 7 to 11 kilowatts, fast enough to take most batteries from low to full overnight. It requires a dedicated circuit and either a wall-mounted station or a NEMA 14-50 style receptacle, so the cost of the electrical work often exceeds the cost of the equipment itself.
What it means
Level 2 charging is the 240-volt mode of refueling an electric vehicle at 7 to 11 kilowatts, fast enough to take most batteries from low to full overnight. It requires a dedicated circuit and either a wall-mounted station or a NEMA 14-50 style receptacle, so the cost of the electrical work often exceeds the cost of the equipment itself. Utilities frequently offer rebates or off-peak rates tied to this charging level, which is worth checking before the circuit is sized.
