Charging Towards a Greener Future
As electric vehicles become more mainstream, public charging stations are becoming easily accessible in many more areas. However, the kind of charging station your car will require will depend on its make, model, trim, and the recommended charging level. For the most satisfying experience, It's essential to familiarize yourself with the different types of EV charging stations available - whether for home or public use - to ensure you receive the most efficient and cost-effective charge.
EV Charger Types & Speeds
Level 1 Charging
Level 1 charging is the basic EV charging type, and automakers typically include these types of chargers and standard equipment with the sale of an electric car. This type of charger is primarily for household use and is convenient despite its slow charging rate.

Level 2 Charging
Level 2 charging is a faster, more efficient version of level 1, as it operates at a higher voltage rate, increasing the charge's length and intensity. Level 2 chargers can be for home or public use. However, if you plan to charge your EV with a level 2 charger at home, you must purchase the equipment and have it professionally installed.

Level 3 or DC Fast-Charging
Level 3 chargers are the fastest and easiest way to charge your EV. These chargers, also known as DC Fast Chargers, are typically more for public use on longer trips where you will not have easy access to a home charger throughout the day. The cost of public EV charging stations depends on the location, the charger type and network, and the time of day. 

Jeep® Brand Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV)-like the all-new, all-electric Wagoneer S-are powered by available Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 chargers. Your owner's manual can help you determine the best charging option for your EV.
How Much Money Do You Save With Electric Cars vs. Gas-Powered Cars?
If you're ready to say goodbye to frequent fuel stops that come with a gas-powered vehicle, we can help make that happen! Here's a breakdown of the critical factors that contribute to gas vs. electric car savings savings from the pump and beyond, including:

  • Electricity vs. Gasoline: Electricity costs are generally lower than gas prices, especially when considering the energy efficiency of EVs.
  • Home Charging: Charging your EV at home can be much cheaper than filling up for gas, and the cost is usually more consistent as well.
  • Fewer Moving Parts: EVs have fewer mechanical components, reducing the need for oil changes and tune-ups.
  • Regenerative Braking: EVs use regenerative braking to recharge their batteries, extending the life of parts like brake pads and rotors.
  • Federal Tax Credit: The federal tax credit for EVs can significantly reduce the upfront cost of purchasing an electric vehicle.
  • State and Local Incentives: Many states and local governments offer additional incentives for EV owners, such as tax credits, rebates, or free charging.
  • Government Incentives: Some governments offer incentives for EV owners to encourage adoption, such as access to HOV lanes or priority parking.
