We’re here to make your experience with electric vehicle (EV) charging as seamless and convenient as possible. Whether you’re a new EV owner or an experienced driver, this guide will help you get started with our platform and make the most out of your charging experience.

Step 1: Understanding Electric Vehicle Charging

Before you start using charging stations, it’s helpful to understand the basics of EV charging:

• Charging Levels: There are three main levels of EV charging:
  • Level 1: Standard outlets (120 volts); suitable for home charging but slow.
  • Level 2: Specialized charging stations (240 volts); faster charging for daily use.
  • DC Fast Charging: High-powered stations that charge quickly, ideal for long trips.
• Connector Types: Different EVs may require different types of connectors. Familiarize yourself with the connector type your vehicle uses (e.g., Type 1, Type 2, CCS, or CHAdeMO).
