Unlike gasoline-powered cars, EVs require a certain amount of learning, particularly when it comes to recharging, essential accessories and the technological tools that make life easier for electric drivers.<\/p>\n<p>Here are 15 essential things to know before you embark on your electric adventure.<\/p>\n<h2>RANGE VARIES ACCORDING TO SEVERAL FACTORS<\/h2>\n<p>The range advertised by the manufacturer is often calculated under ideal conditions. Climate, driving style and the use of heating or air conditioning can have a significant impact on the distance you can cover on a charge. This means you should always plan your journeys accordingly, to avoid any unpleasant situations!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>NOT ALL CHARGING STATIONS ARE EQUAL<\/h2>\n<p>There are three types of charging station:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Level 1<\/strong>: This plugs into a standard household socket (120V) and offers very slow recharging. We\u2019re talking here about several hours, or even days if your battery is completely flat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Level 2<\/strong>: The Level 2 residential charging station (240V) offers faster recharging, so you can fill up your electric vehicle overnight.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Level 3 (BRCC)<\/strong>: This is the ultra-fast charging available on the public grid, ideal for long journeys. On average, it\u2019s possible to fill up (up to 80%, remember!) in less than an hour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>THE INSTALLATION OF A HOME CHARGING STATION IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED<\/h2>\n<p>To get the most out of your EV, installing a Level 2 charging station at home is a wise investment. Check the subsidies available in your region, as many governments offer financial assistance for the purchase and installation of charging stations.<\/p>\n<h2>CHARGING APPLICATIONS ARE VITAL<\/h2>\n<p>There are a number of apps you can use to locate charging stations and plan your journeys. Among the most popular are :<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lecircuitelectrique.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Circuit \u00c9lectrique<\/a>\u00a0(for Quebec and Eastern Canada)<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flo.com\/en-ca\/products\/software\/flo-mobile-app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flo<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chargepoint.com\/fr-ca\/drivers\/mobile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ChargePoint<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.plugshare.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PlugShare<\/a>\u00a0(a community of users who share information in real time)<br \/>\nTesla (if you own a Tesla)<\/p>\n<p>These applications let you pay for charging, plan your trips and locate available charging stations in your area.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-66560 size-full entered litespeed-loaded\" src=\"https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/blog-beq-technology-achat-ve-2.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/blog-beq-technology-achat-ve-2.png 1500w, https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/blog-beq-technology-achat-ve-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/blog-beq-technology-achat-ve-2-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/blog-beq-technology-achat-ve-2-18x10.png 18w, https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/blog-beq-technology-achat-ve-2-600x338.png 600w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"844\" data-lazyloaded=\"1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/blog-beq-technology-achat-ve-2.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/blog-beq-technology-achat-ve-2.png 1500w, https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/blog-beq-technology-achat-ve-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/blog-beq-technology-achat-ve-2-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/blog-beq-technology-achat-ve-2-18x10.png 18w, https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/blog-beq-technology-achat-ve-2-600x338.png 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>\nESSENTIAL ACCESSORIES<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re installing a home charging station, there are a number of accessories available to make your life easier! These include a gun guard and an eco-dome, both of which protect the gun when charging the vehicle. Needless to say, they\u2019re both indispensable in Quebec due to the snow and cold, to name but two.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/en\/product-2\/charging-station-protective-holster\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">charging station protective holster<\/a>\u00a0protects the gun only from the elements, preventing it from freezing in place and leaving you in an unpleasant situation.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/en\/product-2\/eco-dome\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eco-dome<\/a>, on the other hand, completely covers the gun and connector. These two accessories extend the life of the connector by protecting it from the elements and dirt.<\/p>\n<p>Another indispensable accessory, especially in Quebec, is the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/en\/product-2\/retractable-cable-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">retractable cables<\/a>. This accessory allows you to store your bollard cable neatly, keeping it out of the snow, mud and slush! As a bonus, it also saves you from getting your hands dirty!<\/p>\n<p>Finally, a slightly different but oh-so-useful accessory: the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/en\/product-2\/evduty-evccs-intelligent-current-sensor-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">charge controller<\/a>. This means you can always charge your electric vehicle with peace of mind, as it ensures that only the energy available on your electrical panel is used for charging. So there\u2019s no risk of overcharging!<\/p>\n<p>Discover all our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/en\/accessories\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">accessories here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>CHARGING TIME DEPENDS ON SEVERAL FACTORS<\/h2>\n<p>Recharging time is influenced by the type of terminal used, battery capacity and outside temperature. In winter, recharging can be slower because of the cold. We therefore advise you not to wait until your battery is empty before recharging your car, as this will save you time and money!<\/p>\n<h2>RECHARGING COSTS MUCH LESS THAN A FULL TANK OF PETROL<\/h2>\n<p>Recharging at home generally costs between $2 and $5 for a full charge, depending on the electricity rate and your EV\u2019s battery capacity. Needless to say, this cost is much lower than a full tank of gas!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>PLANNING IS KEY FOR LONG TRIPS<\/h2>\n<p>Even if the network of rapid charging stations is improving, it\u2019s important\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/en\/blog\/plan-your-ev-trip-the-best-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">to plan your stops<\/a>\u00a0carefully, especially in winter, when range can be reduced by 20 to 40%. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to have the right applications on your phone.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>MAINTENANCE COSTS ARE REDUCED, BUT STILL EXIST<\/h2>\n<p>EVs require less maintenance than gasoline-powered vehicles, but there are still a few things to keep an eye on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tire replacement (especially given the extra weight of the EV)<\/li>\n<li>Brake fluid and system maintenance<\/li>\n<li>Vehicle software updates<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Subsidies can significantly reduce the purchase price<\/h2>\n<p>Several Canadian provinces offer\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/en\/residential-subsidies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">financial incentives<\/a>\u00a0for the purchase of an EV and a charging station. Check out these programs before you buy, and you could save a lot of money.<\/p>\n<h2>REGENERATIVE BRAKING CAN EXTEND RANGE<\/h2>\n<p>Regenerative braking recovers energy when you take your foot off the gas pedal, reducing brake wear and increasing range. What\u2019s more, several levels of regeneration are available, so you can adjust them as you wish. For example, in winter, we recommend driving on regeneration level 1. You\u2019ll notice that this has an impact on your driving as well as on your charge level.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>INSURANCE MAY BE SLIGHTLY MORE EXPENSIVE<\/h2>\n<p>Insurance premiums for an EV can be higher than for a gasoline-powered vehicle, due to the cost of batteries. However, some companies offer discounts for eco-friendly vehicles. Store around!<\/p>\n<h2>DO BUSINESS WITH PROFESSIONALS<\/h2>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s repairing your EV when you need it, or buying and installing a charging station, it\u2019s essential to do business with professionals. The mechanics of an electric vehicle differ from those of a combustion vehicle, so it\u2019s best to entrust your car to someone who really knows his or her stuff. The same applies to the purchase and installation of charging stations. Sure, you can buy one online, but will it suit your needs? And will you be able to install it properly and correctly? After all, it\u2019s electricity! We strongly recommend that you do business with a company that specializes in this field. Not only will the experts working there be able to advise you properly, but the installation will also be carried out according to the rules of the trade.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-66561 size-full entered litespeed-loaded\" src=\"https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mike-1-camion.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mike-1-camion.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mike-1-camion-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mike-1-camion-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mike-1-camion-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mike-1-camion-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mike-1-camion-600x338.jpg 600w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-lazyloaded=\"1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mike-1-camion.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mike-1-camion.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mike-1-camion-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mike-1-camion-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mike-1-camion-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mike-1-camion-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/beqtechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Mike-1-camion-600x338.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>\nSUBSIDIES FOR THE INSTALLATION OF charging stations IN CONDOS AND multi-units<\/h2>\n<p>If you live in a condominium or apartment building, find out about financial assistance and regulations concerning the installation of bollards.
