San Luis Valley Rural Electric Cooperative

Of its 3 ports, 1 is DC fast and 2 are Level 2. DC fast ports deliver direct current straight to the battery and are the ones used for quick stops on longer trips. Level 2 ports are 240-volt AC chargers, typically used where a car is parked for an hour or more. That is roughly in line with the Colorado average of 2.8 ports per station. The registry lists 3 connector types: CHAdeMO, Legacy DC fast connector (Nissan Leaf era); J1772, the standard Level 1/2 AC connector; CCS, Combined Charging System — the J1772-based DC fast connector.
