What is the difference between Level 1, Level 2, and DC fast chargers?
The difference between the charging levels is the amount of power they provide and therefore the rate of charging they provide to an EV (how much driving range per hour). Level 1 (L1) chargers have the lowest power, provide the slowest charging experience, included with the purchase of an EV, and are mostly used in residential settings. Level 2 (L2) chargers have more power and provide faster charging than L1, and they can be found in homes, workplaces, and public locations. Direct current fast chargers (DCFCs) have the most power and the fastest charging experience and are mostly used at commercial and industrial locations.
