EV owners have a few different methods of charging available, and there are 2 aspects of EV charging that are important to know. These are the Charging Level and Charging Type.

The Charging Level refers to the rate at which you can charge your EV battery. The different charge rates are designated as Level 1, 2, and 3. Generally, a higher charging level provides a faster charging rate.

Charging Type refers to the physical plug and socket connection for the vehicle charging. They are designated as Type 1 & Type 2, or by the name of the connector type (J1772, Mennekes, etc)

The different plug and socket types can affect charger compatibility and charge rates, therefore, adaptor cables are available to convert between types.
