“Range anxiety” – worry on the part of a person driving an
electric vehicle that the battery will run out before a charging station can be
reached – is cited as a reason why some people are reluctant to use
electric vehicles as their main transportation. However, there are a
significant number of publicly accessible stations available in the TMACOG
region from a McDonald’s in Port Clinton, to Northwest State Community College
in Archbold.
TMACOG transportation planners are working to identify
locations and types of electric vehicle charging stations in northwest Ohio and
southeast Michigan. See the map and the list of locations. This information is preliminary and does
not include every station. Planners are looking for resources that will help
identify more. If you know of a station not listed here, please contact Marc VonDeylen (vondeylen@tmacog.org) at 419.241.9155 ext. 1136
with the address and type of charger if known.
Level 1 charging units use household current (120 volt, 20
amp). Level 2 chargers are faster and use 208-240 volt, 40 amp current, the
same as a washer or drier. While vehicles and delivery of service differ, in
general level 2
charging adds about 25 miles of range per hour (RPH), while level 1 charging
only adds about 4 miles of RPH.
