Public "level 2" charging is an easy and convenient way to top up your electric vehicle. Level 2 chargers are very common and can be found at community centres, parks, shopping malls, hotels, parkades and rest areas. Electric vehicle owners typically install one in their home garage as well.

Level 2 stations provide more power than a regular household outlet and most vehicles will gain 20-40km of range per hour of charging.

These charging stations use the "J1772" plug except for Tesla stations, which of course use the Tesla plug. Tesla’s level 2 stations are called "Destination Chargers" instead of the much more powerful Superchargers. Tesla vehicles can use J1772 charging stations by way of a small, inexpensive adapter, as seen in this video.
