Typically only Level 1 charging stations are used in residential applications. Level 2 can be installed but will have to be done by a professional electrician. Mostly Level 2 charging stations can be found at work or some gas stations. Level 3 EV charging stations are used for fast charging locations like highways and rest stops etc.

Level 1 is charging at home with a 120-volt AC circuit (i.e., using a standard residential electrical outlet).
Level 2 is charging with a 240-volt AC circuit in the home or workplace. This requires professional installation of either a NEMA 14-50 outlet or a hardwired charging station.
Level 3 or Direct Current Fast Charging (DCFC) uses a 480-volt DC circuit and typically provides about an 80% charge in just 30 minutes.
NOTICE: Fast charging, also known as DC Fast Charging (DCFC), operates at higher power ratings than Level 1 and Level 2. Compared to Level 2 charging, DCFC subjects EV batteries to high temperatures and resistance. How much depends on several factors, including how thick your charging cables are and whether your EV battery pack is outfitted with a thermal management system. While you may need to fast charge when necessary, avoid frequent fast charging as it reportedly may cause an EV battery to crack, leak, and lose storage capacity over time.
