Charge Map &
Trip Planning

80-95+% of charging happens at your home through level 1 or level 2 charging options. However, if you need another option because of a road trip, power outage or other reasons, there are many public chargers available to you. Below are two websites and apps are make finding public chargers and planning an EV road trip very simple.

PlugShare

A Better Route Planner

Use the A Better Route Planner (ABPR) tool when planning a road trip to find out where you should stop to charge and exactly how long. You can input data like your EV model, starting charge, minimum charge, wind strength and direction in order to suit your needs.

Level 1 Charger:

Level 1 charging requires a standard electrical outlet, which most homes have on the exterior. To fully charge your vehicle may take up to 15 hours but plugging in overnight will get you from A to B to C for all your daily commuting needs. This option will provide a charging power of up to 3 kilowatts (kW).

Level 2 Charger:

Level 2 charging is also commonly used as a home charger but will require installation of a 240V outlet by an electrician.
Many publicly available chargers are Level 2. Fully charging a depleted battery would take an average of 5 hours. Power output can be from 3-19 kW.

Direct Current Fast Charging (DCFC):

DCFC is the fastest charging option available to all EVs and they are typically found along major travel routes, rest stops, hotels and city centres. Charging for 1-hour at a DCFC is generally enough to fully charge a modern EV, although it can take as short as 15 minutes. Output can be up to 350 kW, although many EVs have a max capacity of 50 kW.
