System Assessment
Level 2 Recommended for convenience and reduced power waste
Quora Electronics Insight: A standard wall plug delivers ~1,400W (120V @ 12A). High-power coolant pumps, battery management systems, and main relays continuously draw ~300W during charging. On Level 1, this overhead causes ~25% thermal waste. On Level 2 (9.6 kW+), the 300W overhead represents less than 3% of throughput.
