Electric vehicle charging

Electric vehicle owners in Calgary often wonder, “Where can I charge my electric car?” Our team suggests prioritizing the installation of a home electric car charger while utilizing public charging stations as needed. Let’s dive into the diverse types of electric car charging stations to cater to your requirements effectively.

Exploring Electric Car Charger Types

Understanding the various types of electric car chargers available in the Strathmore area is essential. While public charging stations abound near Okotoks, opting for a home electric charger provides unparalleled convenience, especially for overnight charging. So, where can I charge my electric car? Here’s an overview of the three primary charger types:

  1. Domestic Outlet Home Charging (Regular Outlet) (Level 1 Charging): This charger is perfect for overnight charging. It plugs into a standard three-prong outlet and fully charges your Buick, Chevrolet, GMC within 24 hours.
  2. Installed Brand-Approved Domestic Charging (Level 2 Charging): Installed by a certified electrician, this charger offers faster charging, reaching 80% battery capacity in 30 to 40 minutes.
  3. Public Charging/DC Fast Charging (Level 2 Charging): Found in various locations such as malls, hotels, and parking garages, these stations offer rapid charging, providing an 80% charge within just 30 minutes.

Are Electric Car Charging Stations Free?

When considering where to charge your electric car in Airdrie, it’s essential to factor in associated costs. While some public charging stations may offer complimentary services, others may require payment, typically ranging from $7 to $15 for a full charge.
