Level 2 Charging Is Right for You

Why this recommendation?

Based on your driving habits, charging access, and home setup, you'll benefit from faster charging at home. A Level 2 charger adds 25-45 miles of range per hour — plug in after work and wake up fully charged every morning. By comparison, the standard charging cable that came with your EV only adds about 4 miles per hour, which likely won't keep up with your day-to-day driving.

Prefer To Own Your Charger?

While renting helps you avoid upfront costs, your monthly payments continue as long as you're using the charger. Owning means an upfront investment but no ongoing fees—saving you money if you plan to stay in your home for at least a few years.
