Amperage for level 2 charger

Most new Level 2 EV chargers run at 40 or 48 amps. They can cost less, and they're often a safer option if you're charging through a dryer outlet. Faster home chargers are available . . But not all Level 2 chargers are created equally: Charging speed depends on how many amps (or kilowatts) they're designed for. . A Level 2 charger is a residential electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) that utilizes a 240-volt alternating current (AC) circuit, similar to an electric clothes dryer or oven. Provide a dedicated branch circuit per NEC 625. 40 unless using approved load management or smart‑load sharing. The higher the amperage the faster the charging, but expect 4 to 10 hours of continuous usage to recharge your EV battery.
