Electric Car Charger Types

There are several electric car charging stations near Jefferson County, but a home electric charger will be the most convenient for overnight charging. Here are the three different types of electric car chargers: 

  1. Domestic Outlet Home Charging (Regular Outlet) (Level 1 Charging): This electric car charger will charge your Kia in approximately 24 hours using a standard three-prong outlet. It’s the perfect charger for overnight charging. Still asking, “Where can I charge my electric car close by?” Start at home! 
  2. Installed Brand-Approved Domestic Charging (Level 2 Charging): This electric car charger should be installed by a St Louis-area electrician. It can charge your battery in a few hours.
  3. Public Charging/DC Fast Charging (Level 2 Charging): Public electric car charging stations are typically found in malls, hotels, parking garages, and gas stations. They are the fastest option, delivering an 80 percent charge in as little as 30 minutes.

Are Electric Car Charging Stations Free? 

Now you know the answer to, “Where can I charge my electric car around St. Louis?” It’s important to also know the costs of public electric car charging stations. Some of them might be free, while others can cost between $7 to $15 to fully charge your vehicle. Most charge by the kilowatt-hour.
