Five Tips for First Time Chevrolet EV Buyers

If you want to purchase your first Chevrolet EV, Scott Chevrolet is here to help you at every step of the process. We carry a comprehensive inventory of EV models you won’t want to miss, and we’re sharing everything you need to know about making the transition to EV driving. Here are some top tips for first-time EV buyers from our expert team. 

Consider Your Driving Needs

When purchasing an EV model, you always want to know range needs and charging times. If you’re driving your EV every day, you’ll want to look into different models and capacities than someone who works from home or drives only occasionally.

Consider Installing a Home Charger

Begin by considering installing a charger at home. If your building supports it, an electrician can install a 240-volt Level 2 charging station to help you charge your vehicle overnight so it’s ready for the morning commute.

Account for Local Infrastructure

Perhaps you can’t install a charger at home (sometimes the case for townhomes and apartments), so think about where you can charge your vehicle locally. Does your workplace have an EV charging station, and are there Level 3 Charging stations nearby or along your route on longer trips? The myChevrolet™ mobile app can help you locate these chargers, manage battery life, and perform other vital tasks.

Check Into Subsidies

The requirements for EV subsidies are constantly changing, but you may still be able to save. Your Chevy dealer will guide you through the federal, state, and local incentives you may qualify for so you don’t miss out.

Set a Service Schedule

EV models actually need less service than internal combustion engine vehicles. That said, it is essential to service your EV model when the time comes, so consult your manual and set up your first service appointment immediately so you don’t forget.
