How to Find Vehicle Charging Stations

Charging stations for your electric vehicle are popping up at gas stations and parking lots across the country. It's becoming easier than ever to find a place to power up your EV, ensuring that your next charge is just around the corner, regardless of where your travels take you.

Many EVs, including Nissan EVs, will provide you with directions to the nearest charging station through their built-in navigation systems. So, if you’re in unfamiliar territory or unsure as to where the nearest charging station may be, you can lean on your EV to guide you straight to it.

There are also mobile apps and websites dedicated to helping EV owners find nearby charging stations. These apps map out locations and provide user reviews, and some can even tell you if the charging spot is currently available.

There is more that goes into charging an EV than simply plugging it in; there are multiple levels of chargers, all with different purposes. Understanding the differences between them is key to maximizing your EV experience. So, let’s break down the three main categories:

Think of the Level 1 charger as your EV's nightcap, designed for a leisurely overnight top-off. This charger is a basic option that comes with most electric vehicles and is designed for a slow but steady charge.

Level 2 chargers are available both at home with a special installation and in public spots. These chargers offer a significant speed boost, providing a range of 20 to 60 miles per hour of charging, making it a versatile option for everyday use.

For those times when you need a rapid charge to keep the adventure going, the DC Fast Charger comes to the rescue. Capable of delivering up to 150 miles of range in just 20 to 30 minutes, it's like an espresso shot for your EV.
