Electric Car Charging Station near Me

When you own or lease an electric vehicle, you must charge it to keep it moving. That might mean using a public charging station occasionally if you're on the go around Vaughan or Richmond Hill, Ontario.

Audi Vaughan covers the basics of EV charging below, including the types of chargers. Markham and Brampton, Ontario, drivers can learn how to find a public charging station and what to do once they've found one.

Where To Find and How To Use Charging Stations

With smartphones in almost everyone's pocket, it's become easy to find a public charging station. Popular apps like ChargeHub and PlugShare show you where public charging stations are as well as the current availability and station types.

Once you've chosen the charger you want to use, there are three simple steps to charge your EV.

Types of Public Charging Stations

When you charge at public charging stations, you'll have two options:

DC Quick Charging Stations
Level 2 Charging Stations

DC Quick Charging Stations are the fastest stations available. These charging stations are excellent options if you only have a short time to charge or are on a road trip. Many DC Quick Charging Stations do cost money to use.

Level 2 Charging Stations are the most common public charging stations. These stations take longer but are often free to use. If you have shopping to do nearby, these charging stations can be a good option if you can leave your vehicle for a while.

Home Charging vs. Public Charging

For many EV owners, home charging becomes part of the daily routine. A Level 2 charger in your garage or driveway lets you top off your battery overnight, with no extra trips required. It’s convenient, reliable, and works well if you’re mostly driving locally.

Public charging steps in when you're out and about, especially for longer drives or when you’re in unfamiliar territory. It offers flexibility, and with more stations popping up across Vaughan and beyond, you’ve got plenty of options.
