How to Charge in Public with a Level 2 Charger
It never hurts to keep all charging cables in your vehicle. Level 1 and 2 use different cables since they’re used for different types of outlets. Also, be sure to have your phone handy — some Level 2 chargers need an app to activate.
For Level 2 public charging, most electric vehicles will use the SAE J1772 connector, which is also called the J-Plug. Often, these connectors are hard-wired into the Level 2 public charger unit and can plug in directly to your vehicle.
After plugging in, your vehicle is charging and you can relax. If you’re shopping or grabbing a bite to eat, you can put around 20-30 miles of charge time per hour. On average, you can fully charge your EV overnight in approximately 8 hours.
How to Charge with a DC Fast Charger
Commonly, DC fast chargers are found as stations grouped together just like gas stations. The best way to find a DC fast charger is using a charging station locator either online or through an app. Note that sometimes these stations will need an app to activate.
For DC fast charging, EVs have different connectors depending on the model of the vehicle. These are known as a CCS, CHAdeMO or Tesla connector. Depending on the type of connector, there may be a separate charging port made specifically for DC or a single port that is adjusted according to what charger is being used.
DC charging is fast. From empty, DC fast chargers can take 20-40 minutes to complete to full charge. This is a great time to get a coffee or stop for a quick bite to eat.
Whether you’re traveling down the street or on a long-distance trip, there are EV chargers all around. Use our tools below to find a charging station near you or for a trip.
