How long does it take to charge a Subaru EV?
Charging time depends on the charger type:
- Level 1 (120V): Adds ~3–4 miles of range per hour. Best for overnight top-offs.
- Level 2 (240V): Adds ~20–25 miles of range per hour. Fully charges a Solterra in about 9 hours. Ideal for home charging or at public stations around Evansville.
- DC Fast Charging: Brings the battery from 10% to 80% in less than an hour, perfect for road trips or quick stops.
How far can I drive on a single charge with the Subaru Solterra?
The Solterra EV provides up to 228 miles of range on a fully charged battery. Real-world range varies based on driving style, terrain, weather conditions, and use of climate control. For most Evansville commuters, this range is more than enough for daily driving without the need to recharge mid-day.
For hybrids like the Forester Hybrid, you don’t plug in at all — the system recharges itself through regenerative braking and the engine.
