Charging at Home: What to Expect
- Level 1: Standard 120V outlet for light daily use or overnight top-offs.
- Level 2: 240V circuit—typical home solution for faster daily charging.
- Install basics: A licensed electrician checks panel capacity, breaker size, and cable run; many chargers support scheduling and load management.
- Smart charging: Align charge windows with any off-peak pricing and pre-condition while plugged in.
Public Charging on the I-85 Corridor
For trips between Montgomery and Atlanta, plan stops around distance, charger power (kW), and connector type. Most networks have apps to check live availability and start sessions. Many drivers arrive near 10–20% and depart around 70–80% for the quickest DC fast-charge stops.
- Connector awareness: Confirm port/adapter and filter station maps accordingly.
- Backups: Bookmark an alternate site for each leg in case a station is busy.
- Amenities: Prefer plazas with restrooms/food so charge time is productive.
EV Ownership Costs: The Evergreen View
- Energy: Home charging typically offers the lowest per-mile cost; public fast charging adds trip convenience.
- Maintenance: Fewer moving parts—no oil changes and reduced brake wear from regeneration.
- Incentives: Federal, state, local, and utility programs can lower effective cost.
- Resale & warranty: Battery warranties and software features can influence long-term value.
