FAQ
Fast, straight answers to the questions we hear most from EV shoppers.
QUICK ANSWER
The questions EV shoppers ask most come down to four things: how far it goes, where and how fast it charges, what it really costs to own, and how long the battery lasts. Most new EVs travel 200-350 miles per charge and carry an 8-year/100,000-mile battery warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to charge an EV?
A Level 2 home charger typically adds 20-30 miles of range per hour and fills most EVs overnight. A DC fast charger can take a compatible EV from about 10% to 80% in roughly 20-40 minutes. A standard household outlet (Level 1) adds only 3-5 miles per hour.
How long do EV batteries last?
Modern EV battery packs are generally engineered to last the life of the vehicle, with federal rules requiring at least an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty. Typical degradation is a few percent of capacity in the first years, then slows.
Can you charge an EV in the rain?
Yes. EV charging connectors and ports are designed and safety-certified for wet conditions, with multiple layers of insulation and automatic shutoff before current flows.
