What voltage is a level 3 charger?
Level 3 chargers require a 480-volt electrical source, which is also used to power industrial motors and heating applications. For comparison, a standard wall outlet delivers 120 volts. These require a 240-volt outlet, which most owners need to have professionally installed. In general, most electric car drivers want the assurance and convenience of a quicker charge and eventually install the 240-volt, Level 2 charging ability in their home.
Is 50kW a level 3 charger?
These chargers operate at high voltages, typically between 400 and 900 volts, with power outputs ranging from 50 kW to 350 kW. This high power lets EVs gain a lot of range in just a few minutes. Level 3 charging is great for road trips and quick recharges. Most new Level 2 EV chargers run at 40 or 48 amps.
