How Often Does an EV Need to Be Charged?
EV charging is based on how frequently you drive, the terrain you drive on and other factors. If you have an EV charger at home, you can charge your vehicle overnight. With moderate driving, you can expect to need to charge your vehicle every few days. The more you drive, the more frequently you'll need to charge up your vehicle. For your next road trip, be sure to take a look at the network of Level 3 fast chargers that are available.
How Do I Charge My Chevy EV?
You can charge an electric car from home using a 120-volt outlet, but this is the slowest charging that's available. To charge a bit faster, you can have a Level 2 charger installed via a 240-volt outlet. For ultra-fast charging, Level 3 public chargers are available to keep your battery juiced up while you make quick stops.
