Charging Your EV: Public & Home Charging Options

Plug In & Charge Up: Explore Ford EV Charging Options If you’re considering getting a Ford EV, then you’ve probably weighed your EV charging options. Unlike a conventional gas or diesel vehicle, you have plenty of options when it comes to fueling up your electric vehicle. Stay tuned for more information regarding all the fully charged possibilities available. Whether you opt for a home charging station or you’re on the go, you have your pick of where you want to recharge. Visit Preston Ford of Aberdeen to discover Aberdeen, MD, EV charging stations and learn all about our Built Ford Tough® EVs! EV Charging Types While gas stations are pretty standard across the board, EV charging options can vary in type. Different chargers have a range of voltage needs, power outputs, and charge times. Let’s cruise through the three main categories of EV charging options! Level 1 Charger The first of the EV charging options includes Level 1 chargers. This involves charging your EV with a residential 120-volt AC outlet. It can take approximately 40-50 hours for your battery EV to go from empty to 80 percent charge with a Level 1 charger. For plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), it usually takes about 5-6 hours to charge up from 0 to 80 percent. Level 2 Charger Level 2 EV charging options are typically seen installed in homes, work buildings, or public spaces. They supply a higher charging rate with 208-240 Voltage AC, allowing your EV to charge to 80 percent in just 4-10 hours. If you charge your PHEV with a Level 2 charger, you’ll be good to go in just an hour or two. Direct Current Fast Charging (DCFC) If you’re on the go and need a quick pick-me-up, then Direct Current Fast Charging is the best of the EV charging options for you. These are the type of chargers you frequently see along major highways and in a variety of public places. Within 20 minutes to an hour, your EV battery will be charged to 80%, using 400-1000 Voltage DC. The typical power output of the DCFC chargers ranges from 50-350 kW. While it charges battery EVs rapidly, DCFC chargers do not work on most PHEVs. It accepts the following connector types: CCS Connectors, CHAdeMO connectors, and Tesla connectors. You can now reserve a free Fast Charging Adapter, if your vehicle is a model from 2021 to 2024 and you're enrolled in the BlueOval Charge Network™.
