Level 2 and Level 3 charging systems are dedicated charging units that use elevated voltages to shrink charge times and reduce charging risks. Level 2 charging units typically operate on a 240-volt connection, the same type of electrical connection that would power something like an electric clothes dryer or range. Some businesses looking for smaller-scale units will often choose these charging units, particularly if the facility does not have any larger of an electrical connection. Many small offices and retail spaces will fall into this category.

Level 3 charging, known as true “fast charging,” use voltages that can range from over 400 to even up over 1,000 volts to deliver true high-speed charging for a variety of vehicles. This type of charging often employs a variety of different plugs from brand to brand, but many of these commercially-available units will work with just about any vehicle make on the market. Many of these high-speed charging units are typically weatherproof to make them safe for outdoor installation and use in even tremendously poor weather. Likewise, many of these units also have features like advertisement displays and the ability to accept payment for charging time, giving your business another revenue stream to diversify your income.
