The city of neon lights is no stranger to electric vehicles and their charging needs, as hundreds of charging ports are scattered throughout Las Vegas. In other words, while bus tours are a great alternative option for visitors looking to enjoy the Strip, casual visitors arriving in their electric vehicles can still get around practically while maintaining a charge.
What is the best time to charge EVs in Las Vegas?
The best time to charge your electric vehicle in Las Vegas depends on your circumstances. If your priority is saving time and avoiding a crowd, some charging stations on the Strip’s edge may be less in demand than others closer to the action.
According to NVEnergy, peak charging times in Nevada start around mid-morning and last until the early evening. The charging rate then lowers a bit around nighttime and drops even more overnight.
PREMIER TIP: if you’re looking for a discounted rate, you should charge your vehicle during off-peak hours (typically between 10pm and 8am).
