Range for Your Columbia Travels

Driving a Subaru electric vehicle means being able to travel around Columbia, reaching several destinations before recharging. Subaru's first all-electric vehicle provides over 225 miles of driving range, and you can expect this threshold to increase as the lineup expands with more Subaru EVs.

Affordable Charging While Eliminating Fuel Costs

Forget filling up at Columbia pumps. Arguably the best part of owning a Subaru EV is eliminating refueling costs. With Subaru EVs running on pure electric power, you no longer have to think about filling up for gas. There are affordable charging solutions for Subaru electric vehicles, whether you choose to charge at your South Carolina home or at an EVgo fast charging station out in public around Columbia.

It's faster than you think to charge a Subaru electric vehicle. Subaru EVs have fast-charging capabilities and are compatible with both Level 2 and Level 3 chargers. Get back on the road in a jiffy (in as little as an hour!) as you charge your Subaru electric vehicle.

Lower Cost-to-Own Ratio
