Making the switch to a new Honda EV can be exciting. There are many benefits to driving an electric vehicle, like the lower environmental impact and savings on fuel with every ride. Hall Honda Virginia Beach is here to help with every stage of the transition, including sharing everything you need to know about charging your vehicle at home.
Decide on Charging Level
There are three main charging options to pick from for electric vehicles. Level 1 Charging is the 120V current available in your home without any additional infrastructure installation. It is low power, however, and typically used for plug-in hybrid vehicles. Level 2 Charging uses 240V (similar to your clothes dryer) and requires a simple charging station installation. Level 3 DC Charging can only be found at public charging stations. You’ll want to decide your level and prepare accordingly before getting started.
Consider Your Other Vehicles
It’s important to clear space in your driveway for your charging needs. Charging a vehicle can take time, and you don’t want to have to worry about accessing your other vehicles or belongings. Set your driveway up so your car won’t block anyone coming in or out while it’s plugged in.
Plug Your Car In
Charging a vehicle is a lot like filling it with gasoline at the pump. Simply locate the charging port using your manual, and then plug the cord in. Follow the directions on your charging system or in your vehicle manual to make sure your car is charging correctly.
