Level 3 EV Chargers & DC EV Charging Stations

Businesses looking to switch to electric vehicles, or offer EV Charging stations to the public may have heard the term level 3 EV chargers. Many are asking what exactly are they, compared to level 2 chargers and should the business consider installing them?

What Is a Level 3 Charger?

A level 3 EV charger, also known as a DC fast charger, is a charging station that provides electric power to an electric vehicle at a much faster rate than a level 2 charger. Level 3 chargers use direct current (DC) to charge the battery directly, allowing for a much faster charging time. Depending on the make and model of the electric vehicle, a level 3 charger can fully charge a vehicle in as little as 30 minutes.

The speed of level 3 charging makes it an attractive option for businesses that rely on electric vehicles, such as delivery companies or ride-share services. With level 3 charging, you can recharge your electric vehicle fleet quickly and efficiently, reducing downtime and ensuring that your vehicles are always ready to hit the road.

Another benefit of level 3 charging is that it’s designed to be more convenient for drivers. Level 3 chargers are typically located in public areas, such as gas stations, shopping centers, or rest stops, making them accessible to drivers on the go. Plus, with faster charging times, drivers can spend less time waiting for their vehicle to charge and more time getting back to work.

However, it’s important to note that not all electric vehicles are compatible with level 3 charging. Before investing in a level 3 charger, you’ll need to make sure that your electric vehicles are equipped to handle the high voltage and current of level 3 charging.
