Overview of Mazda EV Charging

Mazda entered the EV market in 2020 with the launch of the Mazda MX-30, a fully electric SUV designed for modern EV driving. In 2023, Mazda expanded its electrified offerings with the Mazda CX-90 Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), which combines a plug-in hybrid variant with traditional gasoline engine options. The CX-90 emphasizes performance, advanced technology, and premium materials, catering to families and those seeking a versatile SUV.
Mazda’s EV range is positioned as an affordable electric vehicle option, offering smaller electric ranges tailored for families. Mazda charger solutions are crucial for owners to maximize the benefits of their EVs and achieve lower overall driving costs.
Mazda EV models are best suited for Level 2 EV chargers, which provide the fastest home charging option. Notably, both the MX-30 and CX-90 are compatible with DC fast charging, a rare feature for PHEVs, giving the CX-90 a competitive edge.

Connector type and charging rates for Mazda EVs

The Mazda EV range use the Type 1 SAE J1772 charger connector type for Level 2 charging, which is the standard for most EVs in the U.S. The charger connector is the port head which connects the charging head into the charging port of the Mazda. The location of the charge port differs by model, the MX-30 charging port is located at the front left side of the vehicle on the driver’s side, whereas the CX90 is located at the rear left side of the vehicle. Uncommonly for EVs, the maximum alternating current (AC) of the CX-90 PHEV is 7.2kWh which exceeds the full electric MX-30 which provides an AC of 6.6kWh.

Best Charging Locations for Your Mazda EV

Most Mazda EV owners prefer home charging due to its convenience, lower costs, and the ability to take advantage of overnight electricity rates. A Level 2 Mazda home charger can provide a full charge in 5.5 hours for the MX-30 and 2.5 hours for the CX-90.
For faster charging, both Mazda models are compatible with DC fast charging stations, making them ideal for longer trips. However, commercial charging is more expensive, with rates around 50¢/kWh compared to 10¢/kWh for home charging.
