A Level 2 EV charger lets you charge up your electric vehicle much around five times faster. These chargers use 240V or the type of outlet you see for an electric dryer or stovetop. They add between 12 and 60 miles to your battery each hour.
A Level 3 EV charger is the fastest type of EV charger. They're also called fast chargers, DCFC chargers, and DC fast chargers. These units typically use 400V or more and add 150 miles to a battery in an hour. They're not very common in residential applications at this point.
