Choosing the Right EV Charging Station Near Madison

The kind of electric vehicle charging station you’ll want to visit depends directly on the speed, or “Charging Level,” that you’re looking to hook up to. Do you need the fastest possible charging to get back on the road? Perhaps you’ll be at a given location for a while, and only need a moderate charging speed? Read the list below for a breakdown of the three charging levels that appear universally between most charging station manufacturers:

• Level 1 Charging Stations: Level one charging is usually best relied on for simply ‘topping off’ the battery reserve, as it is the slowest of the charging methods. This can also be referred to as a “trickle” charge and is mostly found in private residences.
• Level 2 Charging Stations: Level two charging provides a middle ground between the fastest and slowest charging methods. Some public charging stations are level two chargers, but most around the Madison area are level three.
• Level 3 Charging Stations: The highest charging efficiency possible comes with level three charging stations. Utilize our electric vehicle charging stations map on this page to find the quickest charging locations near you!

Are Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Free?
