Make sure the plug type you choose matches the outlet type you have at home. While many outlets look similar, they are definitely not the same. The one called NEMA 5-15 is the regular 120V household outlet that all home appliances use, while other outlet types, such as the 14-50 or 6-50 (The two most popular EV Charging Outlets), get installed specifically for appliances or EV Chargers that require 240V. That said, there are more 240V outlet types that are commonly used, such as the NEMA 14-30, 6-30, 6-20, L14-30, and more.

Most customers we speak to only have a slow level 1 EV charger or are disappointed by the inconvenience and higher costs of commercial charging stations. Level 1 provided EV chargers from manufacturers, whilst convenient since they plug into any regular home outlet, become frustrating for EV owners since charge times can be 14 hours+ and also more expensive since a level 1 longer charging time will also depend on more expensive peak electricity cost.
Based on the most recent data, annual U.S. sales are growing rapidly and will reach 15,000+ in 2024. Given the number of Subaru Solterra EV chargers we sell, we noticed common patterns in the types of questions owners asked when seeking an EV charger. We, therefore, consolidated these questions on EV charging into a useful guide specific to EV charging.
Solterra is a play on the Latin for “Sun” and “Land”, a play on the idea of clean energy. The Solterra is an EV that can be charged with a level 1 J1772 or a level 2 J1722 EV charger at a rate of 7.4 kilowatts per hour (32 amps) on a 240-volt outlet. The charging rate is determined by two factors, which are the power of the EV charger and the acceptance rate of the car’s onboard battery. Different vehicles have different battery charging speeds and a car’s speed to charge cannot always be sped up by a faster EV charger.

The table we created shows charge time assuming an empty battery to full for a Subaru Solterra. The below-tabulated example shows the times to charge from an empty battery. We show different common residential plug types for Subaru Solterra charging at both level 2 and level 1.
| Plug Type |
|---|
| Level 1 - 5-15 (regular 3-pin) 120V |
| Level 2 - 14-30 (4-pin electric dryer type) 240V |

For battery longevity, the charge of the battery should be between 20% to 80%. Battery life can be expected to slow if the battery charge is allowed to go below or above these limits.
The Subaru Solterra can be charged with a Type 1 SAE J1772 charger connector at home, work, or at a public charging point. The maximum alternating current (AC) charge rate is 7.2 kW/hour, which is 32 amps 208-240 volts. The car’s onboard software decides charge and will only take the maximum charge it is rated for. You can plug a 40 amp, 9.6 kWh EV charger into your Subaru Solterra but it will still only take the 32 amps / 7.2 kilowatts per hour. You can’t overcharge the Subaru’s car’s battery.
Most EV owners prefer the convenience, comfort, and speed of home EV charging. EV charging will also be much cheaper at home at residentially priced electricity compared to commercial charging rates from third-party sellers of EV charging. Generally, commercial EV charging is problematic since the charging stations often have technical issues (payment, broken charging heads, and out-of-service). We find Subaru Solterra EV owners prefer to charge conveniently at home, but it also be plugged in when at level 2 EV charging stations or at places such as strip malls, car parks, and City-owned installations. Of most EV charger types, the 14-50 EV chargers can also be used in campgrounds and RV parks.
There is a widespread cost in charging, depending on location (residential or commercial), time of day, and State. The below table shows charging costs depending on location. The tables use U.S. current averages for residential electricity supply of 20 ¢/kWh.
| Place | |
|---|---|
| Home (empty to full)* | Commercial chargers** |
| Avg. cost | |
|---|---|
| $14.4 | $36 |
| Cost/mile | |
|---|---|
| 0.065¢ | 0.16¢ |
* Assumes 20 ¢/kWh average U.S. tariff. Residential tariffs vary by State.
** Assumes 50 ¢/kWh tariff for most Level 2 (AC) or Level 3 (DC) network EV chargers in 2024.
Our high power level 2 EV chargers will achieve a full EV charge in around 10 hours. Alternatively, we have a complete range of Subaru Solterra EV chargers with all different EV plug types.

Hannah Marchant –
We purchased our Solterra and needed an EV charger. Shopped around and spoke to a representative at Aefa EV chargers. Very knowledgeable and they hooked me up quickly with a 240 volt. Super fast charging so far and instant power when I plug it in. I love how you can see it charging from far away
Samantha –
We needed a level 2 EV charger for our new Solterra.
Super fast EV charger. We got the 40 amp even though the Solterra won’t quite accept 40amp due to the battery only accepting 32 amps. My husband uses about 60% of the battery going to and from work and get a full charge in about 5 hours. The charger itself is well constructed, high quality and hangs well in the wall mount to take the cable off the floor.
