Level 2 Charging Options near Dothan, AL
Perhaps you recently bought a Ford EV but are not too familiar with charging your vehicle. Not to worry, since we’ll explain the type of Level 2 charging options and also help you understand what makes other types of charging different. Bring your concerns to Gilland Ford, and we’ll respond soon!
What Are Charging Levels?
When describing the various levels of charging, we’ll first begin with Level 1, which involves using a 120V AC cord to keep your vehicle’s battery powered up. Given that it provides the slowest rate of charge, this model is ideal for those who don’t have many obligations to be at a particular location in Dothan every weekday. As for Level 2 charging, it involves powering up your vehicle to charge your Ford F-150 Lightning much faster. For every hour your model charges, the battery can receive between 10 and 20 miles1 worth of electricity. As for DC Fast Charging, you can expect your EV’s battery to rejuvenate in much faster time. This method of powering up your vehicle is usually done in a public station and would provide plenty of juice for travels through Route 80!
At-Home Charging
Let’s flesh out the different Level 2 charging options for your Ford Mustang Mach-E. Firstly, you can choose a 240V residential AC cord, which can be installed from your home. In particular, you can receive a Ford Charge Station Pro2 in your home by a professional. That way, all that you would need left is to plug in your car in your garage for its battery to be restored in several hours. Or you could opt for the Ford Mobile Power Cord2, which also adequately powers up your vehicle. If you speak with us at Gilland Ford, we’re able to answer questions about the installation process, which we recommend a professional handle on your behalf.
Public Charging
If you’re far from home, it’s possible to find 208V AC commercial chargers at public stations. For easier access to them, you’re able to use different applications, including the FordPass® App3, to find various charging stations. Plus, you can use our BlueOval™4 Charge Network to find different charging stations right on the Ford website. Simply use the different filters to find locations to map out your trip to Miracle Park Playground or beyond. Here at Gilland Ford, you’ll be able to find assistance from our team members if you have specific inquiries about public charging options!
