FWIW, I'm using the following as my guide for what level each kW is: https://www.jdpower.com/cars/shopping-guides/what-is-dc-fast-charging https://www.jdpower.

  That's a good guide, but L2 is standard AC charging (usually with a 240V outlet in your garage/driveway) not DC Fast Charging

    A good point, thanks!

  You seem to be confusing a lot of terminology. DC charging is a separate thing from L1-L3, though some people mistakenly describe DC charging as "L3". L1 = single phase 120V power. People typically think of common household outlets, which will be limited to 12A or 16A, but it could also be a TT-30 at 24A. L2 = Split phase 240V. Typical amperages are 32 and up, but lower is possible with some cars and higher is common. Eg, the F-150 Lightning can charge at 80A. L3 (very uncommon) = 3 Phase AC at up to 400A - Could be >300KW. I've never seen this.

  From that article: "Both Level 1 and Level 2 charging utilizes alternating current (AC)"
