There are so many perks to 5 Tips for First-Time EV Buyers owning a Chevrolet EV from Carroll Chevrolet. However, many buyers hesitate to buy one because they don’t understand it. These tips can help when you’re ready to buy your first electric vehicle.

Consider the Range

Range, which is how many miles you can drive on a full charge, is arguably one of the most critical factors in an electric vehicle (EV). If you do a lot of traveling and don’t have a lot of time to set aside for charging, make sure you look for a vehicle with an appropriate range.

Know Where to Charge

Range anxiety is a consideration for some EV owners. This is the fear that EV owners have about getting stranded with a dead battery. We encourage you to see the most convenient places to charge near you, and don’t forget to integrate charging stops when traveling; the myChevrolet® app can help with this.

Know Your Charging Options

There are multiple options when it comes to charging an EV. You can charge at home or public charging stations. There are also different levels of charging. Understanding the different options is essential to know which work for you.

Consider an At-Home Charging Station

Although it’s faster when you can find a Level 3 DC Fast Charger on the go, it’s more convenient and better for your EV battery to charge from home. Naturally, you must also consider the costs, including the charger, installation, and the increase in your utilities.

Look Up Local Incentives

You may be eligible for tax or utility incentives if you buy a Chevy EV. We encourage you to review your options to maximize all the savings available.
