Great question. But you can’t charge an electric car at a gas station; instead, they have their own dedicated charging stations.
While most people charge their EVs at home, charging stations are available for the public. Level 3 charging stations are considered gas station replacements for electric cars. These charging stations have the power to charge your battery from empty to 80% in about 30 minutes. On average, it costs about $15 per hour to fill up.
If you haven’t already, you’ll soon start to notice EV charging stations popping up in your community. If all goes to plan, the
Biden administration
will add 500,000 new stations by 2030. With these numbers, EV charging stations will eventually outnumber gas stations.
This increase in charging stations responds to the growing number of electric vehicles sold in the U.S. By 2030, the U.S. expects to have 30 million electric cars on its roads, with charging stations to support them.
If nothing else, you can always charge your electric car at home. Suppose you’re considering buying an electric car. In that case, you’ll have many options available to you when it comes to filling up your battery. So you can move forward knowing that you’ll have an infrastructure to support you.
