Home Charging
Charging your Chevrolet EV at home is the most convenient and cost-effective option. Here's how to do it:
- Purchase a Chevrolet Home Charging Station: Invest in a Chevrolet Connected Charge Station for the fastest and most efficient charging experience. Our stations are designed to work seamlessly with your Chevrolet EV, providing a reliable and user-friendly solution.
- At-Home Charger Installation: A Chevrolet technician can help you with the installation process to ensure your charging station is set up correctly. We'll assess your electrical capacity, make necessary adjustments, and prepare you to charge your Chevrolet EV at home safely.
- Charging Time: The charging time varies depending on your Chevrolet EV model and battery capacity. On average, a full charge can take anywhere from 8 to 14 hours, so it's a good idea to charge overnight for maximum convenience.
Public Charging
When you're on the go, accessing public charging stations is essential. Chevrolet EVs are compatible with a wide range of public charging networks. Here's what you need to know:
- Chevrolet MyLink App: Download the Chevrolet MyLink app to your smartphone. It provides real-time information on the nearest charging stations, availability, and pricing, ensuring a hassle-free charging experience.
- Charging Connector Compatibility: Most public charging stations use the standard SAE J1772 connector, which is compatible with Chevrolet EVs. Some stations also support DC fast charging using CCS or CHAdeMO connectors for quicker top-ups.
Charging Tips
To maximize your Chevrolet EV's performance and battery life, consider these tips:
- Scheduled Charging: Use the Chevrolet MyLink app to schedule charging during off-peak hours to save money and reduce strain on the electrical grid.
- Maintain Battery Health: Charge your Chevrolet EV regularly, even if you don't need a full charge. Keeping the battery between 20% and 80% capacity helps prolong its lifespan.
- Preconditioning: Use the app to precondition your vehicle's cabin while connected to the charger. This ensures a comfortable interior temperature without using battery power.
