One nice aspect of electric car ownership is that you never need to go to a gas station again.? You charge the car at home, just like you do with your cell phone.?? And just like your cell phone, the car comes with a ?charger? that you plug into an outlet.
Technically, the ?charger? for the car is called Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment, an EVSE for short.? The CODA comes with a 120 volt EVSE that you can carry around in your trunk and plug in to any regular outlet.? With our current promotion, you also get (for a limited time) a 240 volt EVSE and our partner, Mr. Electric, will install it (details below).
The real difference between these two devices is that the 240 volt EVSE charges the car faster.? The GE WattStation that is part of our promotion mounts on a wall and plugs into a ?normal? 240 volt outlet.? That outlet is what Mr. Electric will provide you with.
You might be thinking that you don?t have 240 volt power at home, but if your house was built or remodeled in the last 40 years you probably do.? Electricity is delivered to your home via a system known as Alternating Current (AC), normally at 240 volts.? If you imagine this electricity as an S shaped wave with a line down the middle, the voltage is the height of the wave.? On a normal circuit you use one side of the wave from the center line (120 volts) and for 240 volts you use the whole wave.
Calling the EVSE a ?charger? is a little misleading because the batteries are actually charged by a computer controlled system built into the CODA.? The EVSE provides the electricity.? In the US, EVSEs are built to provide power very safely.? They communicate with your EV and check the power they are getting from the wall to make sure that there are no electrical leaks, and that the circuit is safe.? Once they verify those items, current flows from the outlet to the car.? These safety standards are the same for both the 120 volt and 240 volt EVSEs.
You don?t really need to think about any of this, as your CODA dealer and Mr. Electric will handle all the details for you.? All you need to do is decide to buy and drive a clean and green car from the All-Electric Car Company.
