How long will it take to charge the Electric Vehicle?
Depends on the type of vehicle, completely drained Nissan Leaf will take up to 8 hours with Level 2 charger, Chevy Volt will take less hours due to the smaller battery capacity.
I drove to one of the charging stations at ACC and it was occupied by a non-Electric Vehicle.
At ACC, both Electric Vehicles and ACC’s Green Cars(Permit required) can use these designated parking spaces, however there is a (4) hour time limit for these parking spaces. (4) parking spaces have the access to (2) charging stations at each location,
Do charging stations work with any electric vehicle?
The ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations at ACC will work with any electric vehicle on the market. There is an industry standard for Level II charging: the SAE J1772™ connector that all vehicles on the market will use. Even for older electric vehicles, charging at ChargePoint stations is still possible.
I have more questions on charging stations.
