Understand the Types of Chargers
There are several ways to charge Lincoln plug-in hybrids, including:
- Level 1 Chargers:Â Standard chargers accompany most Lincoln hybrids. They connect to a regular 120V household outlet. Generally, they'll fully charge your Lincoln overnight.
- Level 2 Chargers:Â Offering quicker charging than Level 1, these need a 240V outlet. Though many public charging stations offer Level 2 charging, you can also have them installed at home.
- DC Fast Chargers:Â Not as frequent for plug-in hybrids (more for pure electric models), these offer swift charging. This option is mostly seen at commercial charging points.
Charging At Home
Home charging is undeniably the most preferred method for numerous Lincoln plug-in hybrid enthusiasts.
- Safety: Prioritize the safety of your electrical setup. If opting for a Level 2 charger, considering a professional electrician for installation can be prudent.
- Plug and Drive:Â For Level 1 chargers, just connect one end to your Lincoln and the other to your wall socket. Your luxury ride starts charging instantly.
Public Charging Stations
Thanks to the surging allure of electric vehicles, spotting public charging stations is getting more routine.
- Locate A Station:Â There's a plethora of apps and websites to guide you to the closest charging point.
- Pay and Charge:Â While some points won't charge you a penny, others might. Typically, activating the charger requires an app or a card.
