Electric Vehicle Charging Station Types
Level 1 Basic Charging
Charge your electric vehicle at home using a common 120-volt outlet with this Level 1 charger. It delivers four miles of range per hour of charge. Ideal for overnight or weekend charging, this method is slower but effective for routine use. Chevrolet advises daily charging with this method to maintain battery levels for your daily commutes in and around Redding.
Level Two Fast Charging
Offering a faster charging option, the 240-volt Level 2 charger, suitable for home or public use, provides about 25 miles of range per charging hour. Installation by a professional electrician is required. For drivers covering 40-50 miles daily, a full recharge is possible in just two hours. A completely depleted battery will recharge in approximately 9.5 hours.
Super-Fast Charging
For rapid charging needs, the Direct Current Fast Charging (DCFC) option is ideal at public stations, delivering about 100 miles of range in just 30 minutes! Though there's an additional cost for using DC Fast Chargers, they are invaluable for quick, on-the-go charging needs. This method is still more cost-effective than fueling with gasoline.
Chevy EV Charging FAQ
Where Can I Charge My Electric Vehicle?
- Electric vehicle charging can be done anywhere you find an electric outlet. Most owners prefer charging at home. However, during long drives, fast-charging stations on the highway are a great option. Additionally, many public spaces like shopping centers near Lithia Chevrolet of Redding offer public charging stations.
What Is the Charging Duration for an EV?
- Charging your EV is similar to charging a smartphone or laptop. Plug it into a 120-volt household outlet or a 240-volt home charger overnight, and it will be ready to go by morning. The charging duration depends on the battery size and the amount of charge needed.
Which Charging Unit Should I Consider?
- Chevrolet EVs come equipped with a charging cable for standard 120-volt outlets. For quicker charging, consider installing a 240-volt home charger, similar to the outlets used for major appliances like dishwashers and washing machines.
Do Electric Vehicles Have Self-Charging Capabilities?
- While it would be convenient, EVs cannot self-charge. The energy used can’t be fully regained, hence the need for periodic charging. However, EVs benefit from regenerative braking, partially restoring energy to the battery during driving.
What Should I Do If the Charging Station Is In Use?
- Many charging stations offer real-time status updates. You can use these updates to locate an alternate station nearby or wait for the current one to become available.
