The EV Basics
There are three main kinds of electric vehicles: battery-electric (BEVs or EVs), plug-in hybrid electric (PHEVs) and hybrid electric (HEVs). Both BEVs and PHEVs need to be charged via special charging stations. HEVs use their onboard electric motor as a supplement to the existing internal combustion engine (ICE), and are charged via regenerative braking.
Because both BEVs and PHEVs require charging, you’ll need to make some decisions about charging stations: where to install them, whether to install some at employees’ homes, and how many you’ll need.
It’s well known that fully electric vehicles cost more upfront. But, what you may not realize is that over the lifespan of the vehicle, an EV could actually work out better for your bank balance, as well as better for the environment.
Charging
What types of chargers are available?
Technology is moving quickly when it comes to charging EVs and the result is a selection of chargers with different speeds that you can find at different locations. There are 3 standard charging levels used to charge electric cars. All EVs can be charged with level 1 and level 2 solutions. Level 3 chargers – also called DCFC or fast charging stations – are much more powerful than level 1 and 2 chargers, meaning you can charge an EV much faster with them. Some vehicles, however, cannot charge at level 3 chargers, so it is very important to know the what your vehicle can handle before you plug it in.
