Level 2 Chargers

Level 2 charging is a fast, efficient, and affordable charging option. It requires a dedicated 240-volt AC outlet, similar to the ones used for large appliances. Level 2 charging stations typically provide a charging power output between 2.5 to 19.2 kW, depending on the infrastructure and EV’s capacity. EVlution can help you determine if this is a suitable charging option for your EV charging needs.

Benefits of Level 2 AC Charging

Versatile & Compatible

Level 2 charging stations use the standard AC power found in most residential and commercial buildings, making them widely available and compatible with virtually all EV models.

Cost-Effective

Installing a Level 2 charging station is generally more affordable compared to the higher voltage DC fast charging infrastructure.

Fast & Convenient

Level 2 charging operates at a higher power output, typically ranging from 3.3 kW to 19.2 kW, depending on the charging station, and can greatly reduce the amount time required to fully charge an EV battery.

What to Consider with Level 2 Chargers

While the benefits of Level 2 EV chargers are often a great choice for many, there are a few important decisions to consider before installing one for your property. Our team can help you decide what works best for you.

Requirements & Cost

Level 2 chargers require a 240-volt outlet. It’s also important to that your property's electrical system can handle the increased load; this may require an upgrades, wiring, and a licensed electrician.

Choosing the Right Specs

Not all Level 2 EV chargers are created equal. When choosing a charger, consider charging speed, compatibility, and any additional features such as Wi-Fi connectivity or smart charging capabilities.

Commercial Level 2 EV Charging Solutions

Provide dependable, cost-effective charging for multi-family residential parkades, commercial workplaces, hotels, and overnight fleet depots. Our smart Level 2 charging stations (7.2 kW – 19.2 kW) combine dynamic power sharing, automated billing, and Canadian winter durability across Western Canada.

Smart Power Sharing (EVEMS Ready)

Avoid expensive utility transformer upgrades. Our intelligent load management dynamically shares your building's existing electrical service across multiple chargers, delivering optimal overnight charging while protecting main electrical panels.

Flexible Mounting: Wallbox & Dual Pedestals

Configure hardware to fit your exact parking layout. Choose space-saving wall mounts for underground parkade concrete pillars, or heavy-duty dual-port pedestals with safety bollards for outdoor surface lots.

Automated User Billing & Access Controls

Eliminate manual energy tracking. Drivers can start sessions with RFID cards, mobile app accounts, or QR codes. The EVlution Network bills users automatically for the power they use and deposits recovered revenue to your property monthly.

Built Tough for Canadian Winters

Certified for Canadian cold-weather operations with heavy-duty weather-sealed enclosures, durable commercial cables, and 24/7 cloud health monitoring backed by our local service teams in BC and Alberta.

Level 2 Charging System Configurations

Compare unmanaged basic chargers with our smart, networked commercial Level 2 systems.

System Capability Unmanaged Basic Level 2 Charger EVlution Smart Commercial Level 2
Power Delivery Fixed power draw (can overload building service) Dynamic load sharing (EVEMS) balances power in real time
Driver Billing & Cost Recovery None — building pays 100% of driver electricity Automated metering and direct driver billing via app/RFID
User Access Control Open plug — anyone can plug in and take power Secured access for residents, employees, or paying public
Hardware Scalability Limited by total panel amp capacity Modular backbone allows expanding from 2 to 50+ stalls over time
Canadian Grant Eligibility Often ineligible for commercial smart rebates Eligible for NRCan ZEVIP, CleanBC, and provincial rebates

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast does a commercial Level 2 charging station charge a vehicle?
A commercial Level 2 charger delivers 7.2 kW to 19.2 kW of power, adding roughly 35 to 60 km of driving range per hour plugged in. This is the optimal charging speed for vehicles parked overnight in residential parkades or parked during the workday at office buildings.
How does dynamic power sharing prevent electrical service overloads?
Our smart EV Energy Management Systems (EVEMS) monitor total building power consumption. When overall building demand is high, the system temporarily dials back charger output. As building demand drops at night, output increases to deliver a full charge by morning without ever tripping main breakers.
Can property managers or stratas bill drivers directly for electricity?
Yes. Every kilowatt-hour consumed is recorded by the station. Drivers pay through their registered account, and all recovered energy costs are disbursed directly back to the property monthly to offset the building’s utility bill.
What Canadian government grants are available for Level 2 chargers?
Commercial Level 2 installations qualify for funding under Natural Resources Canada’s ZEVIP program, CleanBC Go Electric rebates (including multi-unit residential and workplace programs), and municipal funding in Alberta. EVlution identifies eligible programs and submits all documentation for you.
Can we install Level 2 chargers with zero upfront capital?
Yes. EVlution offers Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS) for Level 2 installations. We supply the hardware, manage the electrical installation, and handle all ongoing maintenance for a simple monthly operating fee with $0 upfront capital.
