Level 2 electric vehicle chargers are versatile and suitable for both residential and public or commercial settings. In residential areas, these chargers are often installed in garages or driveways because they can provide a more efficient charging option compared to Level 1 chargers. They typically operate at 240 volts, charging a vehicle in a few hours, making them practical for home use and allowing for overnight charging.

In public and commercial settings, Level 2 chargers are frequently used in places like parking garages, retail locations, and office complexes. Their relatively fast charging capabilities attract more users while maintaining a manageable installation and operating cost. This flexibility helps meet the needs of different environments effectively.

Level 1 chargers, while applicable for home use, are not typically found in commercial settings due to their slower charging speed. Level 3 chargers, known for rapid charging, are more suited for commercial applications due to their higher power requirements and installation costs, making them less practical for residential use. A designation for Level 4 does not exist in common classifications of EV chargers.
