Level 2 electric vehicle (EV) chargers offer a significant upgrade in charging speed compared to Level 1 chargers, delivering power 5 to 10 times faster. Designed for daily use, these chargers require a dedicated 240-volt electrical circuit (similar to large appliances like dryers) and are ideal for home, workplace, or public charging stations.

【Key Features】

Power Output: Operates between 6 kW to 11 kW, with some models supporting up to 19.2 kW for compatible vehicles. 

Charging Time: Fully charges most EVs in 5 to 10 hours, depending on battery size. 

Installation: Requires connection to a circuit breaker panel via a dedicated circuit to ensure safety and prevent overloads. 

Versatility: Can be wall-mounted, pedestal-installed, or integrated into public charging networks.

【Advantages】

Faster Charging: Reduces downtime significantly compared to Level 1 charging. 

Safety: Dedicated circuits minimize fire risks and power disruptions. 

Convenience: Compatible with most modern EVs and supports smart features like scheduling and energy monitoring. 

Cost-Efficiency: Lower long-term costs compared to frequent use of Level 3 fast charging. 

【Limitations】

Installation Costs: Requires professional setup and potential electrical upgrades (e.g., 240V outlet). 

Flexibility: Less portable than Level 1 chargers due to fixed installation.

【Common Use Cases】

Home Charging: Perfect for overnight charging. 

Workplace/Public Stations: Provides reliable daytime charging for commuters. 

Fleet Operations: Efficient for businesses with multiple EVs.
