If you talk to an early adopter or do some research, you’ll find there are many benefits of owning an electric vehicle. Some of the benefits include:
Check out our blog to learn more.
Level 1
Plug in to a traditional 120 V AC plug. It's a good idea to have an electrician verify that your breaker is sufficient to provide the amount of amps needed to charge your vehicle without causing problems for your house. Charging time is 6-14 hours, depending on the car.
Level 2
Provide charging through a 240 V AC plug and dedicated circuit. Schedule a licensed electrician to do the work. A level 2 charger will cut charging time in half, estimated at 3-6 hours for most cars.
Level 3
An Electrify America DC fast charger station, powered by CPS Energy, is installed at the Walmart Supercenter located at 4331 Thousand Oaks.
The Electrify America station features six 150 kilowatt (kW) chargers and two 350kW chargers. CCS and a CHAdeMO charger are available. The brand of EV you drive will determine which plug you can use. Check your vehicle manufacturer's website or your owner's manual to find out more about charging.
Check out Consumer Guide to EV Charging from Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) to learn more.
We strongly encourage and recommend charging your EV overnight to avoid the peak energy demand hours of 4 - 9 p.m. That window is typically when local and statewide demand for power is at its highest. Preventing additional demand on the grid ensures statewide power reliability.
Overnight is also typically the best hours for wind power generation to be at its highest, making your low or emissions-free vehicle its absolute cleanest. We are one of the largest wind energy buyers in the nation and are proud to provide you with clean, emissions-free power.
