What are My Electric Vehicle Charging Options?

1. Domestic Outlet Home Charging: A normal three-pronged 110V/120V charging outlet (Level 1 Charging) doesn’t have a fast charging speed but it’s a good option for topping off some of the charge you used commuting to work that day.
2. Installed Brand-Approved Home Charging: Level 2 Charging is typically professionally-installed. Rapid chargers made for the brand will have faster charging rates than a domestic outlet.
3. Public Charging: You can charge on-the-go in Costa Mesa at parking garages, malls, hotels, and even apartment buildings. You’ll often find charging stations at big-name national stores like Walgreens and Kohls, and more charging stations are being added every day across the country.
