In contrast to cars with traditional engines, electric vehicles (EVs) can be charged both at home and on public networks. Depending on your specific EV, there’s versatility when it comes to charging speeds.
For example, EV owners who charge overnight at home may have so-called "slow" or "rapid" charging methods. Ultra-Rapid chargers can be found in various settings, including restaurants, supermarkets and hotels, which add about 100 miles of charge in 20 to 60 minutes.
