Charging your EV

There are a few different chargers available for you to charge your vehicle at home and on the streets of New Jersey. The first charger we will tell you about is the level 1 charger, which comes with a standardized connector that allows you to charge your EV at home via a wall outlet and a cable with your car. It usually will give you a slow charge rate of around 3-5 miles per hour. This charger is used for drivers who are traveling to and from work on a daily basis or drive under 40 miles. The next charger is a level 2 charger that comes with a standardized connector and is also used as an at-home charger via a dedicated charging station. This will give you a medium charging rate of 15-30 and will be helpful for those who drive around a 100-miles a day. The last charger is a DC Fast Charger with three connector types. You will find these chargers off the highway, such as on the Jersey Turnpike, at dedicated charger stations, giving you a charge rate of 150-400 miles per hour. The DC Fast Chargers are great for those who drive long distances of 300 miles per day.

Best Time to Charge your EV

Most newer electric vehicles will give you a timer to let you know when the car needs to charge. The best time to set up your EV will be between 10 pm and 6 am when renewable wind power will be at its peak. You'll want to avoid charging your vehicle in the late afternoon between 4 pm and 7 pm, as there will be less capability in the grid. If you want to maintain more battery longevity, you will want to keep your battery charged between 20% and 80% whenever possible. If you do everyday driving, you will want to charge your battery to 80%, and with more extended driving tips, you will want to get as close to 100% charge as you can, but charge only as much as you need to complete your trip. Never let your battery sit at 0% or 100% for too long.

Benefits of Electric Driving

Several benefits are available when you get an electric vehicle here at Fullerton Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, as you will get tons of brakes on your finances and maintenance. You will be eligible for a US federal tax credit of up to $7,500 just for getting an electric vehicle.

Plenty of electric utility providers will also offer you rate plans during nighttime hours. Electric cars also have fewer moving parts, requiring less maintenance than gas-powered ones. Most of the time, you will only have to worry about windshield wiper fluid and tire pressure, and the batteries that power your electric vehicles are maintenance-free.
