There are many reasons to consider purchasing a 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV when the time comes to look for your next safe and capable vehicle. Plug-in hybrid models will help you to reduce your environmental impact and emissions output with every ride, and they’ll help you to save on fuel and service costs, since it requires less of both.
But how do you keep it charged? Pearson Mazda has your closer look at the 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV charging process.
Decide On Your Charging Level
You have three charging options to pick from when it comes to plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles. Level 1 charging is the level you get when you plug into your home system, and it may not be available for vehicles with larger batteries. Level 2 charging will typically charge your vehicle in a few hours, but it takes a more powerful outlet or other power source.
Level 3, or DC Fast Charging, isn’t available at home, since the voltage is very high, but it can charge very quickly. Start the charging process by determining your level of charge.
Locate the Port
Charging your PHEV isn’t all that different from fueling a vehicle with an internal combustion engine. You’ll locate the port, plug the charging cable in, and allow the vehicle to charge for as long as required. With Level 2 charging, that will typically be a few hours or overnight, whereas Level 3 charging typically takes less than an hour.
Decide On Home Installation
Another element of the charging process to consider is home charger installation. When you have a Level 2 charger at home, it means you can always access a higher voltage, and it’s easier to keep your vehicle charged. Consider the costs of installation, and the benefits of having charging access as needed, and explore your installation options.
