Wallbox Level2 Chargers, one of the most popular3 charging standard for electric vehicle (EV). It has enough power to charge your car in short time. However, Level1 Chargers low current limit make it difficult to charge cars newer than 2012 model year. A Level 1 charger can be plugged into any standard US 120 volt outlet and provide 3-5 miles of range per hour of charging. Level Two high speed charger plugs into a 240-volt NEMA 14-50 receptacle which is capable of providing from 16 to 60 miles per hour of charging as opposed to Level 1 that can only provide 3-5 miles of range per hour. Wallbox Level 2 chargers have been found to be much faster than Level 1 chargers when charging electric vehicles. Level 2 Chargers are mostly used in commercial or workplace charging stations.

Charging Level Two Chargers can be installed at work or home easily (unlike the DC charging station) because they do not require any special installation other than having access to the proper 240-volt electrical outlets required for their operation. Level One charger requires specific wiring and breaker panels before being able to use them which may limit their placement in home garages or outside certain limits of homes built before 2012.
