3 EV charging levels and where to find them

One question that comes up more than “What can I charge my EV with?” is “Where can I charge my EV?” Here’s a quick rundown of the 3 levels of EV charging and where to find them, be it downtown, in the suburbs or somewhere in between.

We’re well on our way

Now that we’ve fully set our sights on a fun, exciting electric future for all, we feel like we’re off to a pretty good start.

Making the electric switch

We totally get it. Switching to an EV may feel like a big step, and that’s okay. If you’re curious, here are some of the reasons why EVs are easier than ever to get into. (Spoiler alert: they come with plenty of perks.)

9 everyday things that can take longer than charging your EV to 100%

“How long does an EV take to charge to 100%?” That’s a question we hear a lot. While it’s not as quick as gassing up (for now, anyway), it can be as easy as charging it at home overnight or quickly during a road trip pit stop. But if you’re worried that an EV might take forever to fully charge, here are 9 everyday things that can take longer to do.

Electric sounds good, too

Stay in charge

Like the one in your phone, a high-voltage EV battery ages over time. So, we included an onboard system (Battery Management System) that automatically helps protect your Volkswagen EV battery. Here’s a few more battery-protecting tips:

  • It may sound odd, but it’s ok to not fully charge your battery. Rule of thumb: keep it under 80% to hop across town and charge it over 80% for road trips.
  • Try to keep your battery charged between 20% and 90% over long periods of time. A happy medium makes a happy battery.
  • DC fast charging is convenient, but not always needed. Back-to-back road trip DC fast charges are fine, but everyday DC fast charges around town, not so much.
