Charging cable (3-pin plug) – Level 1
Charging cables are mandatorily supplied with all new EVs sold in the European Union. This cable plugs into a household socket and its charging reaches 2.3 kW. It is a great backup option, however, as a primary charger, you must consider the following drawbacks:
Wall Boxes – Level 2
Residential charging
These residential charging stations are usually wall mounted and in the European Union, require dedicated/direct wiring to the mains switchboard (fuse box). The maximum speed is typically 22 kW, up to 10x faster than Level 1 Charging Cables. (see charging type and cost).
Furthermore, Level 2 Charging Stations are Mode 3, meaning that they communicate the charging parameters with the EV, assuring safety and battery optimal battery care.
These charging stations vary depending on the electrical characteristics e.g. number of phases, maximum output, available internal safety devices, and other features, such as, internet connectivity, control via smartphone app, smart grid integration, etc.

Level 3 (DC) - for vehicles operating 24/7, trucks & buses
In some niche cases, such as 24h delivery vehicles, emergency response vehicles, etc. your business may consider Level 3 (DC) charging stations. These chargers are are capable of recharging an electrical vehicle for 100km in just about 20 minutes. Keep in mind that these stations use either a CCS 2 (combo) or CHAdeMO connector and the compatibility varies among various vehicles.
Level 3 chargers are also used to charge heavy vehicles such as truck and buses which have large batteries and no on-board charger, and rely solely on Level 3 (DC) charging.
