Where to buy

Tesla uses Level 2 chargers in the US. Level 2 chargers provide 240 volts of electricity2, compared to 120 volts for Level 1 chargers. Some cars, like Tesla, need a special voltage.

Why is a Level 2 charger better than a Level 1 charger?

Leviton Level 2 chargers provide significantly more power than Level 1 chargers, which means they can charge electric vehicles much more quickly. A Leviton Level 2 charger can add up to 20 miles of range per hour of charge, while a Level 1 charger can add only two to four miles of range per hour of charge. For this reason, we recommend installing a Level 2 charger if you own a Tesla vehicle. This will provide the best home charging experience and allow you to charge your car as quickly as possible.
