Electric Vehicle? Lower Costs
and Easier Than You Think
(BPT) - Electric vehicles (EVs) are the future
of transportation, offering a fun to drive
alternative to traditional gas-fueled cars as
well as lower maintenance costs. Almost
every major automaker is introducing new
electric models - from SUVs and trucks to
sports cars and motorcycles.
EVs are becoming so widely available that
more than 500 different EV models will
be available globally by 2022, according
to estimates from Bloomberg New Energy
Finance.
To support this growing need for EV
recharging, significant investments are being
made concerning charging stations, making
it easier than ever to own an EV. The U.S.
Department of Energy reports that more than
42,000 total EV charging station locations
exist in the United States as of June 2021
- and the president has set a goal to reach
500,000 charging stations nationwide by 2030.
As the auto industry becomes more electrified,
learning about the basics of EV charging like
how and where to charge, is the first step in
helping drivers feel more comfortable - and
even excited - about the idea of switching
to an EV that fits their lifestyle.
Types of Ev Chargers
Charging at home, work and other public
locations all require different types of
chargers - and it’s important to understand
the differences.
Public Fast DC-Chargers
Currently, the fastest way to charge an EV is
with direct current (DC)-fast chargers, which
are usually found in public and commercial
settings like grocery store and shopping center
parking lots. These stations provide charging
speeds faster than what drivers would find
in home chargers, allowing them to get back
on the road more quickly.
Electrify America, for example - the largest
public ultra-fast DC charging network in the
U.S., with more than 640 charging stations
and more than 2,860 individual chargers -
offers the fastest available charging speeds
today, allowing capable EVs to add up to
20 miles of range per minute.
Home Chargers
One perk of an EV is the ability to power
up without even leaving the house. At home,
