Electric Vehicle FAQs
What are the Benefits of Owning an EV? EVs can help you save money on numerous fronts! When you buy an EV model, you qualify for a federal tax credit of up to $7,500 on eligible models. Many EV owners also enjoy more affordable maintenance plans due to the lack of traditional gas-powered engines. You'll need little to no fuel for your cars, and charging is affordable! Electric-powered vehicles produce fewer emissions, helping to save the environment.
What's Different Between Electrified and Combustion Powertrains? Conventional models utilize internal combustion engines to transform electrical energy into mechanical energy while burning fuel. If you opt for an EV, you'll get instantaneous torque and smooth acceleration because electric motors receive power from the EV's battery pack.
What's My Range before I Need to Recharge? Chevy EVs offer different ranges to help you navigate your workday and weekend fun. While the Chevy Bolt EV and EUV can surpass 250 miles, options like the Chevy Silverado EV project to deliver 400 miles before recharging.
Where Can I Charge My EV? You can charge your EV at home with a Level 1 or Level 2 Charging cord, or you can charge your car on the road at public charging stations.
How Do I Find a Charging Station near Me? You can use the MyChevrolet app with Energy Assist, which will help locate one of the 40,000 available charging locations closest to you.
Are EVs Safe to Drive? They are just as safe to drive as conventional gas-powered engines. All EVs use advanced battery technology and rigid electrified powertrain platforms to keep you safe.
Are EVs Expensive to Maintain? Most EVs are more affordable to maintain than conventional gas-powered options. EVs don't require as many moving parts, and with no engine, all-electric options deal with less wear and tear. Most EV battery packs should last two decades, and Chevy EVs can drive up to 200,000 miles easily.
