How to Find Car Charging Stations

You love your new green car and you’ve got your home charger installed, but now you’re wondering what to do when you’re out on the road. How do you find car charging stations for your 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV when you’re taking a road trip?

Fortunately, the green car industry has come a long way when it comes to installing new chargers and helping drivers find them. Just follow this advice about keeping your battery charged from the EV experts here at Kearny Mesa Chevrolet.

Use the myChevy App

The recent updates to the myChevy app have made it a great tool for all drivers, but it’s especially useful for drivers of EVs like the Chevy Bolt. That’s because it now makes it easy to check your current driving range and whether or not there are chargers nearby.

You’ll also see what kind of chargers are available. You can even pull up a map of charging stations and find a good place to pull over and top off your battery.

How EV Chargers Work

For the most part, your app is going to help you find Level 2 charging stations. If you’ve had your own fast-charging station installed at home, you’ll be familiar with them.

With a Level 2 charging station, you can often regain 20-25 miles of range in a hour. If you need even more range quickly, then you want to find a DC fast charging station. These can refill your battery back to 80% capacity in around an hour. More chargers and DC fast chargers are being added all the time, so now might be a great time to consider an electric vehicle of your own!
