Level 1 - Plugs in to 110 V
Level 2- Plugs in to 208-240 V (220 V nominal)
Level 3- Plugs in to 440 V
The higher the level, the quicker the vehicle
charges.

home use. Level 2 charging stations will be
found at retail stores, restaurants and mall.
• Level 3 are close to being commercial. They are
being targeted for quick charge at gas stations.
