Boost Your Subaru Electric Vehicles Vocab
So what’s all this madness you’ve heard about with volts, watts, and hours? At first glance, listening to someone talk about the new Subaru electric vehicles can be confusing. But think about how the terms “engine” and “oil” and “combustion” must have sounded in 1900. Like all new things, it takes some getting used to. Here are some of the top EV vocab words that you need to know about
- AC/DC Power - While images of rock-n-roll come to mind, AC/DC power has another definition. DC (or direct current) is stored, pure energy. That’s what’s in your battery. AC (alternating current) is responsible for electromagnetism, the electrical force that turns your wheels.
- Lithium-Ion Battery - Lithium is a highly reactive element, and its ions make an incredible conduit for the transfer (and collection) of energy. Your battery is made up of lithium-ion cells with various power capabilities.
- kWh - A kilowatt hour is a unit of measure related to the total amount of energy stored in a vehicle. Subaru electric vehicles will have a battery of a certain kWh size. The larger the number, the more potential power the vehicle might have.
- Voltage - Voltage amounts can seriously boost the performance of a Subaru EV. In engineering terms, Voltage is synonymous with the idea of pressure. The higher the number, the more electric force is applied to a system. You could also think of higher voltage numbers as doing the same thing as a turbocharger or supercharger. It boosts the power capabilities of a standard engine.
- J-Plug - An SAE J1772 is the connector type used to charge your vehicle. There are public charge stations with high-speed j-plugs and factory-provided cables for accessible EV charging at home.

The wonderful reality is that nothing really changes. You drive like you always do. You replenish your fuel supply when you need to.

You can get premier parking wherever a charge station is located. You have access to many HOV lanes on the interstate. The cost of electricity is less than the average cost of gas. And there are even more incentives too good to resist.
Another benefit that’s too good to ignore is the availability of Level-2 charging stations at no cost to you. Nearly every major city in America has this benefit, and in our area alone, you can count on 443 stations that can be used without cost. Let us know if you’ve seen a gas station lately that waives their fee. With a growing charge infrastructure, you’ll never have to work about your Subaru electric car’s range. And with high-speed charging, you’re on your way in no time.
By opting for an electric Subaru vehicle, you're opening yourself up to a world of technological capabilities.

What is an electric vehicle?
Believe it or not, the first automobiles were electric. However, the technology was not sustainable over 120 years ago. Today, electrified vehicles are emission-free and use a lithium-ion battery to supply power to the wheels.
