EV Adoption

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021

The 120 volt outlet and Level 1 charging equipment are often derided by EV advocates because of how long it will take to fully charge a BEV. But for those cars parked all-day or all night, a 120 volt outlet will often be the most cost-effective solution that also provides enough range for an average driver’s daily needs.

Diffusing Disinformation on PHEVs. The rise of battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) have fans professing its technological wonders, while looking down at plug-in hybrid EVs (PHEVs). While BEVs use a battery-powered motor to power the vehicle, PHEVs have both a battery/electric motor and a gas engine to power them. But not to worry!
