EV Charging Stations Newport News VA
Buy an Electric Toyota in Newport News
Nothing is more important at Pearson Toyota than keeping our customers informed. This is especially true with the electric models that are being introduced to the lineup. With that comes the questions about charging these vehicles and what that means for charging stations themselves. Thanks to all of the plug-in hybrid and all-electric vehicles, such as the bZ4X, now has never been a better time to be in the know when it comes to electric offerings. That is why we are focusing on discussing EV charging stations, such as what kind of levels are available, where you can find them in Newport News, and how you should be acting when you utilize them. Do you have questions that need to be answered? We recommend reading down below and seeing if we can answer some of them!
What charge levels are offered?
Charging stations are not just offered in one singular charging option across the board. There are three different levels of charging, with Level 1 not being available as a charging station due to the fact that it only uses a 120-volt outlet. This means that you can simply plug it into your own home, though it will be a fairly slow charge compared to the other options that we will be discussing. What does Level 2 charging offer? Not only is this level offered to the public, but you can have them installed into your home so that you can charge much more quickly than you would otherwise. The final level we want to mention is Level 3/DC Fast Charging. When you find a Level 3 charging station, the charge time is reduced immediately, thanks to the fact that you can get up to an 80% charge in just around 30 minutes. No waiting around for this one!
What charging stations can I find in Newport News?
Now that you understand the different levels that you can find on your drives, we want to introduce you to the kind of charging stations that are offered in the local area. Newport News has the benefit of providing you with forty-eight charging stations in the city. Twenty-five of these charging stations are Level 2, while twenty-three of them are Level 3. About half of these are completely free to use, which means you'll be saving money, along with time! One of the most popular stations that people use is the one located at the local Walmart, though there is also one in the City Center Merchants Walk Garage. But don't worry! There is a large amount of charging stations that you will always have to choose from, including in the state of Virginia as a whole. Travel has never been easier for electric vehicles than it is right now.
What etiquette should I follow at charging stations?
Once you've found the charging station that you intend on using, we hope you will also be considering how to act here. Many of us are not used to anything other than a gas station, but with charging stations, there are rules here that everyone should be following. The first is to never use a charging station spot as a regular parking spot, no matter how convenient it may be. The second is to never unplug anyone else's vehicle, as we know how unhappy you would be if someone did that to you. We also want to mention that many charging stations have signs posted, and some even have time limits. To help everything run smoothly, you may not need to get a full charge, just enough for your next destination.
