Average Cost Of An EV in Findlay, OH
Considering the shift to an electric vehicle (EV) here in Findlay, OH? The idea of never having to stop at a gas station again is certainly appealing. No more spending on gasoline which, added up, could offset the purchase price of your new EV. We have a variety of impressive EVs in stock and before you explore them, we've prepared a guide detailing everything you need to know about the average costs of charging an EV, both at home and at public charging stations in Findlay and nearby areas.
Charging From The Home
Charging your EV at home is convenient and affordable. Most owners use a Level 1 charger, which plugs into a standard 120-volt outlet. It’s ideal for short daily commutes, adding 3-5 miles of range per hour, and works best as an overnight solution.
For faster charging, many EV owners choose to install a Level 2 home charging station. These chargers, similar to those used by large appliances like dryers, connect to a 240-volt outlet and can add up to 25-30 miles of range per hour. At Great Lakes Subaru, we recommend Level 2 chargers for drivers with higher daily mileage demands. While installation requires an upfront investment and professional setup, the faster charging speed and the ability to take advantage of off-peak electricity rates make it a smart choice for EV owners.
Charging an EV from a Public Station
Public charging stations are a convenient way for EV drivers to recharge on the go. Found in urban areas, shopping centers, parking garages, and along highways, they make it easy to extend your range during trips. Stations typically offer Level 2 chargers for moderate speeds or DC fast chargers for quicker power-ups. Access usually requires a network card or app, and costs can vary by provider, time, and location.
Before charging, ensure your vehicle is compatible with the station. Most use standard connectors like CCS or CHAdeMO, though Tesla vehicles often rely on their Supercharger network. Apps or navigation systems can help locate stations, showing availability and charging speeds. Charging at a public station not only adds range but gives you time to shop, eat, or relax while your vehicle powers up, making EV ownership more convenient.
