- BEVs operate solely on electric power and must be charged by plugging in. The battery in PHEVs must also be charged, but the vehicle can operate on gas if the charge runs out.
- A 120-volt outlet in your garage or driveway may handle overnight charging if you are driving only about 40 miles per day and have a full 8 hours to plug in. If you drive more and charge less, you may not get a sufficient charge.
- If you want quicker charging, you will need a 240-volt outlet and compatible charging station, which start at a few hundred dollars.
- If you do not have off-street parking, it may be difficult to charge your EV at home.
