L2?L3?What are the different levels of chargers?

Level 1

The slowest option. An AC charger that plugs into a standard 120V wall outlet which can add 3 to 8 kms of range per hour. A full recharge can take 24 hours or more.

Level 2

Level 2 chargers are also AC chargers. The various types of Level 2 chargers are designed to handle either a 240-volt household outlet or a 208-volt commercial outlet. Level 2 chargers are smaller than Level 3 DC fast chargers and have a lower initial investment cost because fewer components are required.

Level 3

Level 3 chargers are DC chargers, which, unlike AC-based Level 1 and 2 chargers, output DC current to the vehicle. They convert AC to DC within the charger and bypass an EV’s onboard AC to DC converter, charging the battery directly. The higher the kW capability, the faster it will charge.

What is NACS? 

North American Charging Standard (NACS) is a universal charging connector design that aims to simplify the driver experience by providing one type of connector for Level 2 and Level 3 (DC Fast) charging stations. This will eliminate the need for multiple connector types (SAE J1772, CHAdeMO and CSS) by standardizing the connector design. The NACS connector is currently designed for use with Tesla vehicle ports. SETEC POWER's charging stations including DC chargers and PowerOnTheGo already support NACS connectors.
