Electric Car FAQs
How far can I drive on a single charge?

Where can I charge my VW EV?
You'll find a robust network of public EV chargers in Connecticut and across the country, and there are various charging options available to suit your needs. You can charge your EV at home using a standard 120-volt power outlet or a higher-voltage Level 2 charger. Level 3 charging options are increasingly available as well.
Do EVs need maintenance?
