Find Your Electric Vehicle with Northland CDJR

Many people are making the switch to electric vehicles. With more and more people making the switch, car brands are creating more high-tech models that are fully plug-in electric vehicles or have the option to be free of emissions. Such as, the Jeep brand creating modes to customize a driver’s fuel efficiency and exploration in the zero emissions world. The Jeep and Chrysler brands are currently offering PHEVs. These PHEVs are available as Level II PHEV Home Charging Stations and Level II PHEV Home Charging Stations making charging simple with quick and easy installation through Qmerit. These PHEVs are available for vehicles such as the Wrangler 4xe, Grand Cherokee 4xe, and Chrysler Pacifica. There are also many locations located near Oak Park, MI where you can go to charge your electric vehicles such as ChargePoint Charging Station and the EVgo Charging Station. Northland CDJR is here to offer local drivers some charging station tips.

For Charging Not Parking

Try to move your car as soon as possible when you’re done charging. Other people will need to fill up their electric vehicles. Some charging stations such as ChargePoint Charging Station have an app that will let you know when your electric vehicle is done charging. As well as, allow drivers to get into a virtual line when all the charging stations are busy. Taking up a charging station spot for hours can seem inconsiderate to other electric vehicle drivers. You don’t have to move the instant you’re done charging but be sure to be considerate of others who made need to charge their vehicles. Don’t be that electric vehicle driver who treats a charging spot as a personal all-day parking spot. Electric vehicle charging spots are for charging and not parking!

Try Not to Unplug Anyone

To unplug other electric vehicle drivers from their parking spots can seem impolite. Try to avoid unplugging someone from their charging station unless you are absolutely sure they are okay with you unplugging their vehicle. If you’re absolutely desperate to fill your electric vehicle up and if someone left a note stating that it was okay to unplug their vehicle then it is fine to unplug them. Instead of pulling the plug on other electric vehicle drivers, we can work together to eliminate any need to unplug other drivers’ vehicles. We can do so by moving our vehicles as soon as possible when we are completely done charging. Since some electric vehicle drivers have a backup gas engine some people think it is okay to unplug plug-in hybrid drivers. These drivers also have a right to electrons and charging stations as well!

You Don’t Have to Always Aim for 100%

Topping your electric vehicle off around town is a perfect and convenient way to keep your battery fully charged or close to it. Although someone might pull up in their electric vehicle at a 10 percent charge and is desperately in need of electrons. But if you have an 80 or 90 percent battery charge you might think about kindly moving by getting your vehicle charged at a later time or at home. If you need the extra miles to get you to where you need to go then it’s okay to stay plugged in. If you do decide to plug in let people know when it is okay to unplug you by leaving a note.
