EV Charging Stations: Claremont, CA

Here in California, we have a very strong EV infrastructure for drivers throughout the state. Just in Claremont alone, you can find 24 public charging stations available for use. Most of the chargers are located around densely populated areas, including the campuses of Pomona College, and Claremont College. In general, you can typically find public charging stations in high-traffic areas where many people commonly drive. Just like a gas station, charging stations are conveniently located in areas where people can easily drive off the highway or main road to get the power they need. You can also find more charging stations clustered around major cities, such as Los Angeles, and Pasadena!

Generally speaking, using an EV charger is a very similar experience to using a gas pump. To charge up your vehicle in public, start by determining what kinds of cables are compatible with your vehicle. Most often, you’ll find Level II and Level III chargers at public stations. Next, drive up to a free charging spot, and plug the cable into your vehicle’s port. The cable should click when it’s fully inserted and ready to charge. Then, your vehicle will communicate with the port to let you know how much energy it needs, and how full the battery is to begin with. You’ll pay for the transaction using a typical pin pad and touchscreen, similar to what you’d find at a gas pump!

If you’re interested in making the switch from a gas-powered car to an EV or PHEV, we’re your knowledgeable electric vehicle dealer. We want to help you make an informed decision. Overall, many drivers are drawn to the fact that electric vehicles have so many benefits that you just can’t find on a traditional vehicle. First and foremost, cars that use less gas are more environmentally friendly, which benefits everyone! Plus, the cost of the electricity you’ll use to charge your car is anywhere from 3 to 5 times cheaper than the equivalent amount of gas you’d need to fill your tank. Not only that, but you won’t experience the same kinds of price fluctuations that you’ll see with changing gas prices. Electric rates do vary slightly, but it’s not as dramatic as the shifting gas prices. This makes it easier to find charging stations in Claremont or wherever you’re traveling, and budget and plan for your travel costs!

There are lots of great options when it comes to choosing a new electric vehicle! For example, the Jeep brand has been a pioneer in the world of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, or PHEVs. Jeep currently offers electrified versions of some of the most beloved models, including the Wrangler 4xe, and Grand Cherokee 4xe. Both these models feature gas engines paired with electric motors, and offer many of the same features you’ll find on their traditional gas-powered counterparts. However, both vehicles offer three different drive modes so that you can choose how to expend your vehicle’s energy. Plus, the wiring and battery packs are waterproof and sealed so that you can drive through mud, rain, snow, and even ford up to 30 inches of water in the Wrangler 4xe!
