Are you going to add a plug-in hybrid or fully electric vehicle to your Huntington Beach garage in the next year? You might be wondering where you are going to plug it in to charge. Just two years ago, we wrote in a previous post how difficult it was to find a charging station but so easy to find an electric vehicle on our lot. The great news is that while nearly 20% of new car sales are now EVs, there are also over 90,000 charging stations in the Golden State. Many are near you!
If you are spending a day at the beach with your new Volkswagen ID.4, finding a spot to charge while you soak in the sun is easy. Most of the resorts along the Pacific Coast Highway have public chargers in their parking garages. Find more spots around Pacific City Park, along Beach Boulevard, and at the Bartlett Park shopping area.
As more Californians opt to go electric, local businesses are working to keep up with demand. In Orange County, nearly 6,000 public and shared private stations are open for use. Almost 900 of them are DC Fast Chargers, which can top up your battery while you eat lunch.
Shared private spots may be in condo complexes or near small businesses. You use an app like EVmatch or Co Charger to find a spot and pay the owner for your charging time, much like an AirBnB setup for electric vehicles.
Large companies like Electrify America, ChargePoint, EVgo, and Tesla generally operate fast chargers. Like a Ford F-150 Lightning, your new EV may include complimentary charging time on a specific network. Download their app to help you find and reserve a space while you work or shop.
Whether you work or play in Irvine, you will find charging points in nearly every neighborhood, especially near business parks around the Technology Center and the Medical and Science Complex. Ask your human resources specialist if your company provides free charging for employees.
The most reliable way to always have enough juice in your battery for the week is to install a Level II charger in your home. Many new electric vehicles include additional rebates or coupons that help defray installation costs. But remember, other EVs roll off the lot with their own Level I charging cable that can connect to a standard household outlet.
Did you know that you may be eligible for rebates from PG&E for adding a Level II charger to your home through their Empower EV Program? The incentives include a free charger valued at up to $500, and they cover up to $2,000 towards upgrading your electrical panel. However, you must meet their income verification to be eligible.
Most of our dealerships at the Beach Boulevard of Cars include multiple all-electric options on their new car lots, including the Chevrolet Bolt, Toyota bZ4X, Kia IONIQ 6, and the upcoming Honda Prologue. Come explore all the options available to you today!
