If you have been thinking about making the switch to an EV, you may have concerns about charging the vehicle. That’s understandable. Fortunately, there are a number of public EV charging stations in Poughkeepsie. Along with at-home charging methods, these Poughkeepsie electric vehicle charging stations allow you to charge on-the-go while you are out and about running errands or commuting to the office. Wondering where to find EV charging stations in Poughkeepsie? You have come to the right place! BMW of the Hudson Valley has the details.

EV CHARGING LEVELS

You may have noticed that EV charging stations are currently available in three charging levels: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. What sets them apart, and how long does it take to charge an electric car?

  • Level 1 – This may be the most convenient option, but it is also the slowest charging method. Level 1 charging uses a common 120-volt household outlet. Expect between 3 and 5 miles of range per hour.
  • Level 2 – You can have a Level 2 charging station professionally installed at your home, and you will also see Level 2 charging stations around Poughkeepsie. Depending on the power output of the charger and the vehicle’s charge rate, expect between 12 and 80 miles of range per hour.
  • Level 3 – Unlike Level 1 and Level 2 charging that uses alternating current (AC), Level 3 charging uses direct current (DC). You should be able to recharge an EV at a rate of 3 to 20 miles of range per minute. Because most home power panels cannot handle this load, Level 3 charging stations are usually not installed at home.

BMW EV OPTIONS

BMW is at the forefront of electric vehicle technology, and drivers have plenty of EVs and plug-in hybrids to choose from.

All electric options include:

If you are still a bit hesitant about making the switch, we recommend a plug-in hybrid like the X5 xDrive50e. Plug-in hybrids allow you to travel on a limited electric range, and when the battery is depleted, the vehicle will seamlessly shift to using gasoline.
