How to Charge Your EV at Home
Aside from wondering how to charge their PHEV, another frequent question is: can I charge my EV at home? The answer is yes, and it’s easier than you’d think! Vehicles like the Outlander PHEV have several charging options, making charging at home a simple process. The first option is to plug it into a standard 120V wall charger. This method doesn’t require any installation or modifications to your electrical system and is a great choice if you park near an existing outlet. However, the downside is that this is the slowest method of charging your EV since the power output is so low.
Another option for home charging is to install a Level 2 charger. This option doubles the power output, allowing you to charge your PHEV much faster. It does require professional installation, though. You’ll need to consult an electrician or home charging station professional who can ensure that your home can handle the extra power load. Then, they’ll safely install the 240V charger for you wherever it’s most convenient. Either way, all you need to do is plug and go.
How long does it take to charge an EV at home?
The answer to this question depends on the type of charger you have. If you’re using a Level 1 charger, it will typically take around 8 hours to fully charge the Outlander PHEV. Since it’s double the power, a Level 2 charger will only take 4 hours. Once fully charged, you can get 38 miles of range on electric-only power, or a combined 420 miles with 64MPG.
