Getting Started with EVs

  • What is an EV?
    An electric vehicle runs on electricity instead of gasoline. It includes battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).

    • Lower fuel and maintenance costs
    • Reduced environmental impact
    • Quiet, smooth driving experience

Charging Your EV

  • Home Charging:
    Most EV owners charge at home using a standard outlet (Level 1) or a faster Level 2 charger. Level 2 chargers significantly reduce charging time.
  • Public Charging:
    Convenient for longer trips. Includes fast chargers and networked charging stations.
  • Charging Tips:
    • Charge during off-peak hours to save money.
    • Keep your battery between 20–80% for optimal battery health.

EV Tips for Members

  • Plan Your Charging: Map out stations for longer trips.
  • Monitor Your Energy Use: Track charging to optimize costs.
  • Winter Driving: Battery performance can drop in cold weather; plan accordingly.
  • Maintenance: EVs have fewer moving parts, but regular checks of brakes, tires, and software updates are important.
