Direct answer
Level 1 charging uses a standard 120V outlet and is slow. Level 2 charging uses a dedicated 240V circuit and is the better fit for most daily EV drivers because it charges much faster. A licensed electrician should confirm panel capacity and install the dedicated circuit.
Level 1 can work for short commutes but often adds only limited range overnight.
Level 2 is faster and usually requires a dedicated 240V circuit, breaker, wiring, and charger setup.
Panel capacity, charger amperage, location, and permitting affect installation requirements.
