EV PUBLIC CHARGING OPTIONS

EVs can be charged with one of several outlets or charging stations, beginning with a standard 120-V household outlet, also known as Level 1 charging. This charging option is standard with most electric cars and especially convenient for those who charge their EVs at home overnight. Level 2 options, by comparison, require a 240-V outlet and can restore over 100 km worth of driving range in an hour. While Level 1 and 2 charging are both convenient for home charging, a DC fast-charging station is what you’re more likely to find in public, and luckily, they operate much more quickly than Level 1 and 2 chargers, as they can restore your electric vehicle’s entire driving range in under an hour. You won’t have much trouble finding a DC fast-charging station either, as thousands of them are located across Canada, often in convenient locations like gas stations, public parking lots, grocery stores, and shopping malls.
