Is level 2 solely defined by “240V AC”? I wasn’t sure, although the portable chargers some brands have in the US with 240V attachments are still level 1 I think.
I believe the two requirements for level 2 are 200 VAC and 2 kW. A 208V 30A oven outlet in a typical American apartment is level 2, but so is a 240V, 15 A plug in a typical European, well, any room.
The 240V, 30A+ portable EVSEs many cars come with are level 2, though they are often also able to do level 1 charging if they work on 120V outlets.
In much of the world the wall plug is the bottom end of level 2.
