Circle k charging station — Bend, OR

Public charging stations are becoming more common around Bend, often found at places like grocery stores and retail centers. They’re great for topping up while you run errands. However, they can be occupied or not the fastest option available. For consistent, convenient charging, especially overnight, a home installation is the way to go. It ensures your car is ready when you are.

You can technically plug an EV into a standard 120V outlet, but it’s very slow. This is often called Level 1 charging. It might give you a few miles of range overnight, but it's not practical for daily use in Bend. For efficient charging, you'll want a Level 2 charger installed by a professional.

An EV charger, technically called an Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), is a device that provides electricity to your electric vehicle. It controls the flow of power and communicates with your car to ensure safe charging. Most home installations are Level 2 chargers, which are faster than standard outlets.
