View InventoryHow Do EV Charging Stations Work?
EV charging stations near Keizer work by delivering power to your electric vehicle via a charge cable to recharge its battery. There are three levels of EV charging: Level 1 uses a standard 120V household outlet; Level 2 chargers operate at 240V for an even faster charge; DC Fast Charging, the quickest charging option, can often restore a nearly drained battery to a nearly full charge in under an hour.
How Do I Find EV Charging Stations Near Keizer?
Finding a nearby EV charging station is simple. Many stations are strategically placed at public locations like shopping centers, municipal centers and grocery stores, while Level 3 chargers are commonly found off highways and at rest stops. Use apps like PlugShare or ChargePoint to easily locate the nearest charging stations to you.
What Is the Cost to Use EV Charging Stations?
The cost of using an EV charging station can vary. Some public charging stations are free, while others charge a fee that’s usually based on a per-kWh, -hour, or -session basis. At Acura of Salem, we provide details about local EV charging costs and can help you calculate the cost-effectiveness of using these stations compared to at-home EV charging.
Is It Easy to Charge an EV?
Yes! Oregon EV fans who already own an Acura ZDX or any other new electric car know that charging is as simple as plugging in, charging up and driving off. It’s cleaner and easier than pumping gas, even if it takes a little longer to restore full driving range. The best part? You can charge overnight if you install an EV charger at home, making juicing up your EV truly seamless.
