One of the many perks of purchasing a hybrid or electric Lexus from Lexus Santa Monica in Santa Monica, CA, is that you don't have to leave the comfort of your home to charge it. Here's everything you need to know about charging your electric SUV or sedan at home.
When installing an at-home charger for your Lexus, you'll need to choose between a Level 1 and Level 2 charger. A Level 1 charger takes between 40 and 50 hours to completely charge an electric vehicle, and 5-6 hours for a hybrid, and requires a 120-volt outlet. A Level 2 charger, on the other hand, takes between 4-10 hours for an electric vehicle, and 1-2 hours for a hybrid, and uses a more powerful 240-volt outlet.
Once you've picked your charger, you'll need to hire an electrician to come to your home near Manhattan Beach and hook the charging station to your electrical system. Once that's done, you'll be able to charge whenever you need to.
Charging at home is a quick and easy process. Simply make sure your vehicle is off, and then plug your charging cable into its charging port, which is located where the gas tank typically is. Then, your EV will automatically start charging. Leave it alone until the charge is done, unplug the cable, and get this show on the road.
