EV Corner
Electric vehicle basics, charging and official incentive information.
EV basics
- Level 1 (120 V outlet): about 3–5 miles of range per hour.
- Level 2 (240 V home or public): about 20–40 miles per hour. Best for home.
- DC fast charging: roughly 10–80% in 20–45 minutes on road trips.
- Cold weather can cut range by 20–40%. Preconditioning helps.
- Charging at home is usually far cheaper than gas per mile. Try our fuel cost calculator.
