If you have access to home charging, driving and charging an EV is very similar to charging a cell phone. You typically plug it in when you get home, and it charges while you go about your business. You can also schedule your charging for overnight and you may be able to benefit from discounted electric rates from your electricity provider.
If you do not have home charging through a normal outlet or a Level 2 home charger, you will need to use workplace or public charging to charge. This tends to be more expensive than home charging (although typically still less than paying for gasoline) and less convenient. That being said, most EV drivers still love their EVs and 9 in 10 EV drivers say they wouldn’t go back to gas. Plug In America is working on several fronts to ensure that public charging is accessible and affordable for all EV drivers.
