Types of Charging Stations for Electric Cars

How do electric car charging stations work? Before we answer that, it’s important to know the type of charging stations for electric cars there are and which you should use around Fitchburg. First, level 1 chargers are typically only found at home. They use an electrical outlet and increase your mileage slowly over a course of a few hours. Many electric vehicles in Leominster would need at least 24 hours for a full charge.

The level 2 chargers can provide a full charge overnight but, if you’re just looking for a recharge to top up, the latest EVs can get 60 to 120 miles in a 45 minute time frame.

The biggest and most known of all three charging stations for electric cars is the level 3 DC Fast Charging. If you’re in need of a full charge before you continue your Leominster grocery run or weekend road trip, this is the charging station you’ll want to use. In 30 to 45 minutes you’re able to get 200 to 300 miles of charge.

Electric Car Charging Station Cost

How do electric car charging stations work for payment? If you’re worried about paying for electric car charging station costs then it’s good to know charging up at home will always be cheaper. Even though some electric car charging stations costs are zero for certain models, that only applies for a limited time.

As you can see, electric car charging station costs vary depending on the type of charger. Level 2 will cost between $15 and $25 on average to charge your car fully. Then, Level 3, since it’s the most convenient, can cost between $30 and $35.
