So you are new to EV's and aren't quite sure what the distinction is between various charging 'Levels'... well here is your thirty second primer.
Level 1 Charging: This means 120 volt charging by plugging your EVSE (Electrical Vehicle Supply Equipment, commonly called your 'charger') directly into a 3 prong 120 volt, regular wall outlet. Very slow and archaic, but all that is required by someone who only commutes up to fifty kilometers a day in their car. Expect charging speed to add up to ten kilometers of range per hour of charge.
Level 2 Charging: This is 240 volt charging, either by plugging your EVSE into a range outlet installed specifically for that purpose, or by charging from a permanently mounted Level 2 charging unit with a J-1772 cable, either installed at your home, or at a public charging station. Ideal all round charging setup for majority of users, these units can add 20km to 40km of range in an hour, depending on amperage settings.
Level 3 Charging: This is also known as DC fast charging, which utilizes the big "Chademo" DC charging port under the black cap (on the left as you face the vehicle) This charging is for the express purpose of quickly charging the vehicle while travelling on longer trips. Charging speeds vary greatly, and can range from 50km range up to 200km range added in about an hour
