Finding Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Where’s the Best Place to Charge an EV?
Before we explain the best ways to find a place to charge your EV while on the go, it’s important to remember that the majority of electric vehicle charging occurs at home. In fact, the U.S. Department of Energy estimates that most EV owners charge at home over 80% of the time. It’s undoubtedly the most convenient way to charge your EV and is always worth considering adding a dedicated home charging station once you purchase an electric vehicle. You could also ask your landlord or employer to consider adding a charging station to your apartment building or office. Access to EV charging is a great way to bolster the appeal of the building from an owner’s perspective.Finding Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Due to their growing popularity, the network of public charging stations continues to rapidly expand. Virtually every EV on the road today is compatible with Level 2 chargers, known across the industry as SAE J1772. Your EV may also benefit from Level 3 DC Fast Charging capabilities which offers much faster charge times compared to Level 2. Many manufacturers often include some form of complimentary access to a certain approved network of charging stations with the purchase of a new EV.
