Currently, there are 3 levels of charging:

Level 1 AC charger: It has a nominal supply voltage of 120 V and a current up to 20 A. They are primarily used in residential settings, which use an onboard single-phase charger and have a power output of up to 2.4 kW.

Level 2 AC charger: It is commonly installed in public parking areas, offices, malls, etc. It has voltage of 240 V and a current up to 80 A. It uses an onboard charger and has a maximum power output of 19.2 kW. It requires installation work and hence is expensive as compared to level 1 AC charging.
