Electric Vehicle Information

Electric vehicles (EVs) are fun to drive, cheaper and easier to maintain than gas-powered vehicles, and contribute fewer emissions into the air. With tax incentives available and a fast-growing network of charging stations, find out if owning an EV is the right choice for you.

Owning an EV

Owning a Chevrolet EV simplifies your daily drive while lowering overall vehicle ownership costs. With zero oil changes, reduced brake wear, and fewer moving parts, driving electric delivers a seamless performance.

Understanding Charging

Charging times vary depending of the type of charger used.

Level 1 chargers use a standard household outlet and charge about 2-5 miles of range per hour, making Level 1 a good choice for plugin hybrid vehicles but not battery electric vehicles.

Level 2 chargers can be installed at your home by a professional electrician and charge about 10-20 miles of range per hour. A good choice for any EV when charging overnight or all-day is possible.

Level 3 fast chargers are the most efficient and can be found at commercial locations. Level 3 can charge about 60-80 miles of range in about 20 minutes, making it a good choice for any EV when a quick charge is needed on the go.

Charging from Home

For plugin hybrid vehicles a standard outlet (Level 1) will be enough for overnight charging. For battery electric vehicles, a Level 2 charger will require professional installation by a licensed electrician. If you live in an apartment or condo, consider talking with the property owner about installing a charger or use a nearby public charger. Talk to our sales staff to find out more about charging from home.

Battery Care

Most batteries will last between 100,000 and 200,000 miles when properly cared for. With battery technology continually advancing, that number will continue to increase. If you can keep your battery between 20% and 80% charged most days and avoid extremely hot temperatures, you can expect your maintenance to be minimal.

Common Questions

Chevrolet EVs offer impressive driving range to easily handle daily commutes and long road trips. Models like the Equinox EV deliver an EPA-estimated range of up to 319 miles, while the Blazer EV offers up to 312 miles on a single charge.
Charging times depend on the charger level used. A standard 120V Level 1 home charger adds about 3–5 miles of range per hour, a 240V Level 2 charger can fully recharge overnight, and public DC Fast Chargers can add up to 80 miles of range in just 10 minutes.
You can plug directly into a standard 120V household outlet with the included Dual Level Charge Cord for basic charging, or install a 240V NEMA 14-50 outlet/Level 2 home wall charger for fast, full overnight charging.
Every new Chevrolet EV comes with an 8-year or 100,000-mile (whichever comes first) Electric Vehicle Component Limited Warranty, covering the Ultium battery pack and electric propulsion components.
Freezing temperatures can temporarily lower battery efficiency and range. Pre-conditioning your Chevrolet EV while it is still plugged in allows the cabin and battery to warm up using grid power before you drive, preserving maximum range.
