If you’re thinking about buying an electric car like a Chevy EV model, you don’t want to take this decision lightly. This guide offers tips that will help you make good choices.
Think About Driving Range
It pays to think about your driving habits. How long do you want or need to go before you need to charge up your battery? For example, the 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV has a driving range of 247 miles, while the 2024 Chevy Equinox EV can go up to 300 miles on a single charge.
Keeping Your Battery Charged
Speaking of charging a battery, it’s essential to have a plan in place to do this, especially on longer trips. While more and more charging stations are popping up in and around Van Nuys, they’re still not as plentiful as gas stations. Finding them is easy if you download the myChevrolet app, which also displays charge status and other valuable EV metrics.
What About Home Charging?
You don’t always want to be at the mercy of public charging stations, which is why it could make a lot of sense to simply install one at home. First and foremost, it’s essential to find out if the electrical system in your home can handle this. Once you’ve done that, you’ll need a professional installation. An installer referred by your Chevy dealer can help with both.
