**Home Charging**

Most EV owners charge at home overnight using a Level 2 home charger (240V). This adds 25-30 miles of range per hour and is the easiest, cheapest way to charge. Installation typically takes a day, and many utilities offer incentives to help offset the cost.

**On-the-Road Charging**

Public networks like Tesla Supercharger, Electrify America, and others provide DC fast charging-adding 200+ miles in 20-30 minutes. Many are free or low-cost for the first year after EV purchase.

**Planning Your Trips**

Both the Subaru Solterra and Trailseeker come with navigation and charging apps that show available stations, real-time availability, and pricing. Most owners find daily commutes charge at home, and road trips use public fast chargers.
