The majority of Level 2 EV charging stations are located in public or commercial parking spaces, at the workplace, or in residential areas. Level 2 chargers provide much faster charging compared to Level 1 chargers. Charge in half the time as compared to a standard charger. A full charge can be obtained in between three and eight hours, depending on the model of your vehicle.
Adaptability: there will be an increase in battery capacity as electric vehicle technology advances. The larger the battery capacity, the longer the charge time will be. By upgrading to a Level 2 charger you are being proactive when it comes to your EV decisions.

There are three levels of EV charging. Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. The higher the charging level, the higher the power output and thus the greater the speed of charging your electric vehicle. It is important to remember that the difference between Levels 1, 2, and 3 will ultimately affect vehicle charging times. To learn more about the different charging levels and to decide which one is most suitable for you, your vehicle, and your needs, you should contact ChargeSmart EV for more information on which charging station is right for you.
To understand how EV charging stations work, it is important to know how they are powered.
For EV charging, there are two types of electricity: Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC).
Alternating Current (AC)
In your home or office, you'll always have AC power since electricity comes from the grid. AC, or alternating current, was so named because of the way it flows. This means that the direction of the current alternates periodically. Since AC electricity is capable of traveling long distances in an efficient manner, it is the global standard we all recognize and have direct access to. However, we do not eliminate direct current from our lives. In fact, we use it for powering electronics on a daily basis.
Direct Current (DC)
Direct current is the form of electric energy that is stored in batteries or used in the circuitry inside electric devices to provide power. As with AC, DC is named after how its power is transmitted; DC electricity moves in a straight line and supplies your device directly with electricity.
