LEVEL 2
MULTI-RESIDENTIAL & COMMERCIAL
Up to 32 km/hour
The most efficient and cost effective option for multi-residential buildings are Level 2 EV chargers. The goal of a Level 2 charger is not to fill up your EV as quickly as possible. Rather, Level 2 chargers will fill up most vehicles within a couple of hours without putting an unreasonable demand for power on your building’s existing electrical infrastructure.
LEVEL 3
HIGH-TRAFFIC COMMERCIAL
Up to 290 km/hour
Level 3 chargers, also known as DC fast-charging, offers 10 to 20 times the charging speed of the more widely used level II mid-speed chargers. In other words, 15 minutes at a Level 3 station could provide the same charge as 5 hours at a Level 2 station. Level 3 charging units come at a substantial premium and requires additional infrastructure.
