Find charging near you

California alone has more than 3,000 fast charging points, and more than 20,000 total public chargers. Finding a charger near home or on the road is easier than you think.

Have questions?

It depends on where and when you charge it. The general rule of thumb is that charging at home, if possible, is much less expensive than at public charging stations. For example: if you live somewhere with very low residential rates at night, it can cost less than $5 to full charge an EV battery. The most expensive way to charge a car is at peak business hours on a fast charger at a public charging station; then it can cost $20 or more (still close to or less than the equivalent amount of gasoline!).

Yes -- but in Europe! That said, Tesla has announced non-Tesla EVs will be allowed to use Superchargers in the US soon. You'll need an adapter to use it, but those will be available as well.

You can charge an EV at home, at work or at a public charging station. There are thousands of stations nationwide, but the state with the most developed charging network is California.

Not as crazy as your credit card bill does when you're buying a lot of gas! If you sign up with your utility provider's "time of use (TOU)" plan and only charge at night, the average driver should only see about an extra $40 on their bill monthly. Compare that to having to fill up at the pump at $6 per gallon, and you can quickly see the financial benefits of making the switch to electric.

How do I charge an electric car?

You have options to charge your electric car both at your home and public charging stations (fun fact: California has the most public charging stations of any state).
