3 Tips for First Time EV Buyers

There are many benefits to driving an electric Chevrolet vehicle, such as lower carbon emissions and fuel costs. But before you decide to go electric, there are a few things you can do to prepare for owning an EV. Here are three tips for first-time EV buyers. 

Determine What Kind of Range You Need
Before you buy an EV, take stock of how much driving you expect to do with it. Some vehicles might be unable to sustain their charge for long distances, while others, like the 2023 Chevy Bolt, have much longer ranges. Calculating how many miles you drive daily is an excellent way to determine your desired range.

Locate Nearby Charging Stations
Once you have your EV, you’ll need to know where to find charging stations near your home, workplace, and commute. The myChevrolet app will help you identify convenient charging stations in your area (there are more than you think) and find the closest ones when you’re in unfamiliar places farther from home.

Research Equipment
While you could plug your EV into a standard wall outlet, charging that way takes forever. If you choose to use a 240-volt in-home charger, this will require professionally installed equipment.

While this isn’t unduly expensive, you should look into local building codes. Your Chevy dealer will also help you find an installer who can ensure your charger fits as seamlessly into your lifestyle as it does your home.
