Electric vehicles, or EVs, contribute to cleaner air for our state. Wherever you are in your EV journey, as someone who already owns an alternative fuel vehicle or someone making the switch, we have a hub of information about EVs and what makes Arizona a great place for our customers to drive electric. As part of our clean energy plan for 2050, we’re here to help you get into gear with convenient and affordable EV ownership.
Commercial customers can take the fast lane to access resources about EV fleets.

Right sizing your home charging
Looking to charge your new EV at home? Find the charger that best meets your needs! Most electric vehicles come with both a Level 1 and a Level 2 charger. Level 1 chargers do not require upgrades and can plug directly into your home outlets.
The Level 2 charger provided with most vehicles can charge up to 3 kW. Use the chart to help determine which kW charger will work best for you.
Find out which charging level meets your needs in a few easy steps:
- Calculate your average daily mileage.
- Use the chart below to compare your average daily mileage with the charger that best fits your needs.
- Don’t forget about demand rates. Higher kW chargers will increase demand. Learn more about demand rates.
| Daily Commute (Round Trip) | Charge Level |
|---|---|
| Up to 45 miles | Level 1 |
| Between 45-100 miles | Level 2 (3kW) |
| Between 140-250 miles | Level 2 (7 kW) |
| Between 220-400 miles | Level 2 (11 kW) |
| More than 300 miles | Level 2 (19 kW) |
This chart assumes 8 hours of overnight charging and a vehicle efficiency between 2.5 - 5 miles/kWh.
Not all EV drivers will charge their vehicle every day. For example, EnergySage recommends keeping the battery between 20-80% for optimal lifetime and performance.
Chargers are available in hardwired or plug-in options. Plugs for chargers range from a standard 3-prong outlet (Level 1) to a NEMA 14-50 plug or NEMA 6-20 outlet. For additional guidance, ask your installer which option is best for you.

Planning for an Electric Fleet
The APS Fleet Advisory Service program can help you develop a fleet electrification plan. Qualifying organizations include schools, municipalities, public transit agencies, non-profits and other companies operating fleets in disadvantaged communities.
EVs in the APS Fleet
The APS fleet electrification goal is to transition 30% of our light-duty vehicles and equipment (including forklifts, UTVs/ATVs/Carts) to electric by 2025, with a stretch goal of becoming 100% carbon-free by 2050. We also plan to transition our medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and equipment once more commercially available options are introduced and as current assets are retired.
Introducing the Chevy Silverado EV WT
The APS fleet held an orientation event for all employees to help familiarize them with the fleet’s newest vehicle, the all-electric 2024 Chevy Silverado EV WT. This battery-electric vehicle boasts 510 horsepower, 615 lb-ft of torque and an EPA-estimated range of 450 miles. With over 60 employees in attendance over two days, the APS Transportation team is excited to add its first seven Silverados to the APS fleet and looks forward to the delivery of another 41.
