Charging a Chevrolet Electric Vehicle
To charge a Chevrolet electric vehicle, you have a few options depending on whether you are charging at home or using a public charging station. Here are the steps to charge a Chevrolet electric vehicle:
Charging at Home:
1. Install a home electric vehicle charger. Chevrolet offers a collaboration with Qmerit to provide home charging installers in your area to handle everything from installation to pulling any necessary permits required by your city or state.
2. Once the charger is installed, open the charging port door on your vehicle to access the charging port.
3. Plug the charge cord into the charging port.
4. Your vehicle’s charging status indicator will light up when charging begins.
Charging at a Public Charging Station:
1. Use the myChevrolet Mobile App to find available charging stations.
2. Pull into the charging station and park your vehicle.
3. Follow the instructions on the charging station to pay for the charging session.
4. Plug in the charging cable into your vehicle’s charging port.
5. Let the vehicle charge up.
6. Once the charging is complete, disconnect the charging cable and return it to the station.
It’s important to note that Chevrolet electric vehicles can be charged using level 1, level 2 (the same as home chargers), and level 3 DC fast public charging. Level 3 DC fast charging provides accelerated charging, allowing for less time spent waiting to get back on the road.
Remember, the charging times and range of your Chevrolet electric vehicle may vary based on factors such as outside temperature, terrain, load, and driving technique.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
