There are 3 charging levels. 1 is basically just "plug your car into a wall outlet". 2 is more powerful, and usually involves installing a little charging box with a cable, but it's still AC and fairly slow. 3 is the DC fast charging that operates at crazy high voltages and currents.

In much of the world the wall plug is the bottom end of level 2.

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.
