, the Ldn values are calculated based on an FAA integrated noise model, which averages noise over a 365-day year. For Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ldn values are calculated based on the Department of Defense Noise Map model that averages noise over the total flying

Level of EVSE Charging
There are three levels of EV charging: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. The higher the level of charging, more power is delivered to the vehicle.
Level 1 chargers plug directly into a standard 120 volt AC outlet supplying an average power output of 1.3 kW to 2.4 kW. This power output is equivalent to 3-5 miles of EV range per hour. An overnight charge will add 30-50 miles of range.
Level 2 charging requires a dedicated 240 V circuit and output ranges from 3 kW to 19 kW of AC power. This power output translates to 18-28 miles of range per hour. An average EV can be fully charged in 8 hours or less on Level 2 charging.
Level 3 charging has a maximum output of 350 kW. Level 3 uses direct current (DC) and can recharge an EV at a rate of 3 to 20 miles of range per minute. Level 3 charging is designed to fill an EV battery to 80% in 20-40 minutes, and 100% in 60-90 minutes.
