Charging Station Type
All charging stations are Level 2 charging stations that:
- Support a 240V circuit and Level 2 electric vehicle supply equipment
- Deliver approximately 20 miles of range per hour of charging
Please Note: Charging times depend on battery type, depletion level, and capacity. Charging electric vehicles takes longer than charging plug-in hybrid vehicles because electric vehicles typically have more battery capacity.
