When it comes to owning an electric vehicle, drivers tend to have many questions about charging and how it works. To help our Philly Metro, Pennsylvania, and Delaware Valley drivers, we've created a list of frequently asked questions about your EV charging options.
How Long Does It Take to Charge an EV?
The timeline of recharging depends on the type of electric vehicle you have and the type of charger you're using. An at-home charger could take all night to charge your vehicle, while a public fast-charging station could take as little as half an hour.
How Much Does It Cost to Charge an EV?
This also depends on what type of charger you use. Rates can be anywhere from $0.49 to $0.66 per kWh at a fast-charging station and about $0.16 per kWh at home.
Is It Affordable to Charge an EV at Home?
According to the Department of Energy, it costs the average U.S. household about $60 per month to charge their EV at home. This makes it less expensive than buying gasoline.
