EV Charging Stations Dallas TX

One of the most important things you need to remember when you are a part of the electric community is to be considerate. You can do this in three simple steps. For starters, be sure to only park in an EV space when you need to charge, and you should also allow people to charge when they need to. Next, be sure to use your EVgo app or the Chevy app to check on your charge should you need to leave your vehicle. It lets you know when your Chevy EV is completely done charging. Then, once you have reached an 80% charge, switch to an L2 charger so others can use the EV space. And finally, always remember to follow safety guidelines.

When you park your Chevy EV in a charging space, you should only use it for charging. Once your Chevy EV is done charging, you need to disconnect your vehicle from the charging station and move out of the space so others can use it. You should also keep in mind that you have the potential to be ticketed for leaving your Chevy EV in a charging area for too long when you are not charging. So make sure when you are not charging to move your vehicle as soon as possible.

An excellent way to monitor your charge is to get the EVgo app or Chevyapp, which will allow you to keep track of your charging. You can download these apps to your smartphone using any AppStore you choose. We should also tell you that the battery for your Chevy EV will help you determine how quickly it will charge. Most electric vehicles will slow the charge rate of faster charging once you find that your vehicle is charged to 80%. So once your vehicle hits around an 80% charge, you will need to wrap up your charging session and quickly go with a level 2 charger if you notice another vehicle needs to use the quick charger.

Multiple parking spots can provide you access to fast chargers, so it’s vital that you know what side your charger is on before you park in the charging area. This allows you to avoid those long cable stretches which might take you across other vehicles. When you are done charging, put the charger back in the holster. It prevents damage to the connector and eliminates it from becoming a tripping hazard for other electric vehicle drivers who might want to use the space. Do you not plan on being with your Chevy EV as it charges? Be sure to leave a note to let other drivers know it’s okay to unplug the connector from your vehicle safely or if you are willing to forgo the charger for emergencies.

Dallas has over 364 public charging stations of the level 2 and level 3 varieties, all within a few miles. Most of the ports you will come across are of the Level 2 variety, and 50% of those ports offer free charges for your electric vehicle. In addition, several chargers are located in the downtown area, such as at the Hyatt Regency Dallas on Reunion Boulevard or the Victron at Shell, located on South Belt Line Road. There is also the Walgreens on Garland Road and Park Seventeen on Cedar Springs Road, all of which will provide you with the charging you need to get back on the road fast.
