Electric Vehicle (EV) FAQ
American Honda Motor Company manufactures electrified automobiles that set the standard for quality, performance, and efficiency. Whether you envision your Honda EV as a hatchback, sedan, or SUV, you'll find a great selection at Gillman Honda San Antonio. And of course, we'll answer all of your EV-related questions along the way.
What are the Charging Options for My Honda EV?
When you buy an EV from our San Antonio, TX Honda dealership, you'll have three charging options:
- Portable charging kit: this kit is compatible with Level 1 charging on a standard household outlet and Level 2 charging at a 240V home charging station or public charging station.
- Home charging station: you can install a home charging station that provides powerful charging and great convenience.
- DC Fast Charging: while these locations aren't as common as standard public charging stations, they deliver the fastest charge time.
What is the Battery Range of a Honda EV?
The battery range of a Honda EV depends on several factors. These include driving style, battery size, highway versus city driving, and staying current on your car's Honda service requirements. Using the Honda Prologue EV, as an example, under "normal" conditions this SUV's 85.0 kWh battery offers an EPA-estimated range of 296 miles. From here, the range could increase or decrease depending on the factors cited above.
Is EV Charging Cheaper than Gasoline?
Gas and electricity are commodities whose rates fluctuate based on supply and demand, time of year, and region. But all things being equal, it will cost you less per month to charge an EV than to buy gas for a combustion-engine car. Also, a home charging station will likely be less expensive than a public charging station, which has a time-based fee.
What is "Range Anxiety"?
Range anxiety is the fear of your EV running out of electricity while driving. This is common for new EV owners, but once you get used to the numerous visual and audio warnings that accompany a low battery, you'll have full confidence in your ability to drive without worry. Plus, with the HondaLink® app, you can check your car's charging status and find the nearest charging station right on your phone.
