Chevrolet is building an electric future with a diverse Chevy EV lineup on the horizon. Are you wondering if an EV is for you? At Carroll Chevrolet, we’re addressing how to charge an EV to show how easy and convenient it can be.
“Portable” Charging
Level 1 charging is about as simple and convenient as possible. You can plug the 120-volt charger into any standard electrical outlet. It provides about four miles of range per hour of charging.
EV Charging at Home
Using the dual-level charge cord, you can also take advantage of Level 2 charging at home. Plugging into a 240-volt appliance outlet gives your car approximately 26 miles of range per hour.
However, if that outlet’s not located close to your EV, you’ll need to have a Level 2 home charging unit installed by a professional. Chevrolet covers the standard installation cost and permit fees for customers purchasing eligible vehicles. If yours qualifies (ask your Chevy dealer), the unit can provide up to 39 miles of range per hour, so you can conveniently charge your vehicle overnight.
EV Charging on the Go
There are over 110,000 charging points in the U.S. and Canada, making charging undeniably convenient on the go, too. Public charging stations include both Level 2 and DC Fast chargers. A DC Fast charger can provide up to 100 miles of range in just half an hour.
Energy Assist can help you plan your route taking into account your vehicle’s current charge, the weather, and your driving conditions. You can also use the myChevrolet® mobile app to pair your account with EVgo, making it easy to pay on the go.
