How Do You Charge a Chevy EV?

Owning a Chevy EV is environmentally friendly but also convenient and cost-effective. At Kearny Mesa Chevrolet, we want to ensure you have all the information you need to charge your Chevy EV effortlessly. Here’s a simple guide on how to power up at home and on the go.

Home Charging

The most convenient way to charge your Chevy EV is through home charging. Professionally install a 240-volt Level 2 charging station, which offers faster charging speeds. You can wake up to a fully charged EV each morning with home charging.

Public Charging Stations

Public charging stations become crucial on longer trips or when you’re away from home. Use the myChevrolet® mobile app or the in-vehicle infotainment system to locate nearby public charging stations. Simply connect your Chevy EV to the charging station using the provided cable and start charging. Public charging stations may offer different charging speeds, so check the station details and plan your charging accordingly.

DC Fast Charging

For quick and convenient charging on the go, consider DC Fast Charging. These high-powered charging stations can provide a significant charge quickly, getting your vehicle to about 80% of its battery capacity in approximately 30 minutes. Because repeated use can degrade battery life, these chargers’ use should be limited to times when you’re driving longer distances and need to top off quickly.

Charging Etiquette

When using public charging stations, it’s essential to be considerate of others. Move your Chevy EV once it’s fully charged to allow others to use the charging station. Be mindful of parking restrictions and time limits, and follow any instructions the charging station operator provides.
