A. Level 1 is slow charging. It requires a 15- or 20-amp breaker on a 120-volt AC circuit and standard outlet.

B. Level 2 is medium charging. It requires a 40-amp to 100-amp breaker on a 240-volt AC circuit.

C. Level 3 is fast or rapid charging. It requires a 60-amp or higher dedicated breaker on a 480-volt or higher three-phase circuit with special grounding equipment. (Ord. 3047 § 1, 2014)
