How do I use a public charging station?

No matter what charging station you stop at, the steps will generally be the same. You’ll plug the charger into your EV; follow prompts on the charging station’s display or network app to initiate charging (if available); keep up with your charging session on the display or in your app (if available); and then disconnect and move your car when done charging.

How can I charge my EV at home?

You can plug your EV into a standard 120-volt outlet, which will provide about three to five miles of range per hour. Many EV owners, however, opt to install a Level 2 charging station at home. These typically add 25 to 35 miles of range per hour. They can cost several hundred to over a thousand dollars depending on the unit and electrical work required.

What’s the difference between a networked and non-networked charging station?

“Smart” or networked charging stations are designed with interoperability standards that allow for communication between stations and are configured with a central network system. Networked stations provide access to station usage information and statistics, charging session notifications, the opportunity to implement fee structures for charging, and more.
