Electric Vehicle Charging Stations in Phoenix

Blink EV charger in Phoenix, AZ

At long last, the age of the electric car is upon us. It is becoming more and more common to see pure electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles such as the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt, and others humming around town.

The most commonly found type of electric vehicle charger in Phoenix is the Blink network, which uses the industry-standard J1772 connector. These pedestal chargers are classified as Level 2 ("L2") chargers because they have a 240-volt AC output.

Blink's L2 chargers are compatible with the Nissan Leaf, Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid, and the Chevrolet Volt. The Tesla Roadster and Model S can also work with the J1772 connectors, but they require a special adapter.

Blink has 3,510 charging stations nationwide, with 538 locations in Arizona alone. You can sign up as a member of the Blink network and get a reduced rate on charging.

So where can you charge up your electric car in Phoenix? I've started this list as a guideline to help you out. I haven't provided exact addresses because there are smartphone apps and in-dash navigation systems in electric cars (Volt, Leaf, etc) that will do a much better job. This is just a rough guideline to keep in your mind.
