Level 2 Charging – “Normal” Charge
A Level 2 or “normal” 240-volt /32-amp charger is the recommended charging system for your
electric vehicle. This type of charger uses 240 volts of electricity and takes approximately 9.6 hours
for a full charge. This charger may be able to be installed at your home or can be found at a public
charging station.
REMINDER: Shape of charger and how to use the charger may be different for each manufacturer. Please see Owner’s Manual for more information.
Level 3 Charging* – “Quick” Charge (DC)
