All the Ways to Charge

Level 1 Charger

Uses a standard 110-V household outlet. Very lost cost and ideal for overnight residential charging. Recharges 3.5-3.6 miles of range per hour. 

Level 2 Charger

Ideal for overnight residential, workplace, and commercial charging. Low to mid cost and recharges at 14-35 miles of range per hour. All EV's can use Level 2 chargers. 

Level 3 DC Fast Charger

Ideal for short stops along major travel corridors. High cost but can recharge up to 80% in under 30 minutes. Different EV brands are compatible with different chargers.

Time-of-use Rates 

Save money by charging your EV during off-peak times in the middle of the day when there is extra solar power, or overnight when demand is low. Avoid charging during peak electricity demand periods between 4:00pm to 9:00pm. With smart meters you can charge your EV when there is extra renewable energy available. In the future, vehicle-to-grid or vehicle-to-home technology can allow the EV to power the grid and pay YOU for it, or you can power your home during a power outage.
