Everything you need before your first fast charge.
Charging levels, connectors and battery behaviour, explained without the jargon, so your first public session feels routine.
The three charging levels
Level 1
3 to 5 miles of range per hour
A standard household outlet. Fine overnight, far too slow for a road trip.
Level 2
20 to 40 miles of range per hour
Home and workplace charging. Good for a full overnight top-up or a long dwell.
Level 3 (DC fast)
Up to 20+ miles of range per minute
What HondoGO builds. Most EVs go from 10% to 80% in roughly 20 to 40 minutes.
Know your connector
HondoGO stations carry multiple cable types so nearly any EV can pull in and plug in.
- CCS1
- The DC standard on most non-Tesla EVs sold in North America. Supported at every HondoGO charger.
- NACS
- Tesla's connector, now adopted by a growing list of automakers. Supported at every HondoGO charger.
Why charging slows near 80%
Batteries accept power fastest when they're relatively empty. As the pack fills, your car deliberately tapers the rate to protect cell life. On a road trip, two shorter stops from 10% to 80% almost always beat one long stop to 100%.
