An LAcarGUY Dealership
In the new Subaru lineup, we have a forthcoming electric vehicle, the Subaru Solterra, and with it, drivers who purchase or lease the new EV SUV will need to learn their charging options. The best choice for many is to charge at home, and we're here to make sure you're prepared for that and have everything ready for your EV!
There are two options drivers have to charge at home. The first is Level 1 charging. This is generally reserved for plug-in hybrid vehicles since it is using only a standard 120-volt outlet. It can give you EV a charge, but it will only be able to produce around two to five miles of range per hour, which is good for plug-ins since they have a limited EV range, but for 228 miles on the Subaru Solterra? That will take a long time.
That of course is why it's recommended you get a professionally-installed Level 2 charger at 240 volts. This cuts the charging time down to around eight to 10 hours, as it charges up to 20 to 30 miles of range in an hour. Many people with EVs plug their vehicle into their Level 2 charger and leave it overnight and get up to a full charge for their commute through the likes of Santa Monica, Burbank, and Redondo Beach.
You can hook a charging station up to your home's electric system, and we know many people who also install solar panels to help generate power for their home and charging stations as a long-term cost-saving choice.
If you're ready to begin, we can discuss how to reserve a Subaru like the Solterra EV, and give you the chance to find out all the benefits of driving an EV. We can also provide information on all current new Subaru vehicles, including these new Subaru hybrid and EVs for sale at our dealership near West Hollywood and Torrance.
