At Vogler Ford, more people are starting to get intrigued by the selection of new Ford electric vehicles for sale at our dealership in Carbondale. Whether you're eying the Ford Mustang Mach-E or the F-150 Lightning, you'll want to know more about charging, whether at home or in public. We're here to explain all the charging options available to you, so you can feel confident when driving a new EV from our dealership.
There are different types of chargers based on the power supply each has. Level 1 chargers are ones that can be utilized by at-home outlets, and while they can charge an EV over a long period, they're usually reserved for plug-in hybrid options, which only need to charge up a smaller battery to replenish their limited EV range. We have a Level 1 charger at our dealership, and welcome those with plug-in hybrids or EVs to use it when they visit us. Level 2 chargers are the go-to for EV charging at home. These are professionally installed by a licensed electrician in a garage or somewhere on your property, and provide faster charging times, as you usually can charge your vehicle up overnight. Level 2 chargers are also found in many public charging areas, as you can plug in for a few hours and get enough power for your vehicle.
DC fast chargers are the highest level of charger available, and are only available in public areas. These are the ones to locate if you can, as they're able to cut down on charging times significantly and help you maximize your vehicle's range without the wait.
We're happy to assist you in finding the resources to locate charging networks and discuss your options at Vogler Ford, so contact us today to learn more!
