EV Charging Stations in San Diego

If you drive an electric vehicle around Kearny Mesa or are interested in making the switch to an EV, you may be concerned about where to find local charging stations while you’re out and about. Fortunately, there are plenty of EV charging stations in San Diego and the surrounding areas. 

Types of San Diego Electric Vehicle Charging Stations 

Currently, you have three different methods of charging: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. Here’s what sets each option apart:

Level 1 (120 volt)

• You will have the ability to charge your EV with a standard 120-volt wall outlet.
• Expect up to five miles of range for each hour that you charge your vehicle. 
• Level 1 charging is the slowest and least expensive way to charge. However, it does provide enough power to replenish a standard San Diego commute of 25 miles or more if you charge your EV overnight. 

Level 2 (240 volt)

• This method is significantly faster than Level 1 charging. 
• Expect up to 26 miles of range per hour that you charge your vehicle. 
• You will find public Level 2 charging stations, and you can have one professionally installed at your home. 

DC Fast Charger (480 volt) 

• This is currently the fastest method of EV charging. 
• Because this level of charging can overload your home power panel, it is typically only available for public charging. 
• Expect approximately 50 miles for every 15 minutes you charge your EV.
