How much does it cost to install an EV charger?

What's the difference between a Level 2 and a Level 3 EV charger?
The difference between Level 2 and Level 3 chargers comes down to speed, cost, and practicality.
Level 2 EV chargers provide a faster charging speed than a standard outlet and are ideal for overnight charging. Level 3 EV chargers, also known as DC fast chargers, charge much faster but require more power and infrastructure investment.
