Frequently Asked Questions
How do I charge a Chevy EV?
Charging a new Chevy EV is not so unlike going to the gas station to fuel up a conventionally powered car. Just as you have different fuel grades to pick from at the pump, you'll have different options when choosing how to recharge your Chevy EV.
With any standard three prong outlet you might find at home, you can opt for Level 1 Charging. This will provide up to 40 miles of driving range in a charging session, which should prove perfect for daily travels in the greater Frederick area.
For faster charging, you can work with the Chevrolet Brand's partner QMerit to install at 240 Volt Charger at your home for Level 2 Charging. With this method, you can recharge up to 40 miles in about 2 hours. That means if you plug in your Chevy EV in your garage after you get home from work, you'll wake to a fully charged vehicle before your morning commute the very next day.
The public DC Fast Charging stations you'll find around the greater Hagerstown and Waynesboro areas are what's called Level 3 Charging Stations. These stations offer the highest voltage and therefore the fastest charging capabilities for most new Chevy models, helping you get usable recharge range quickly while you're out running errands in town.
Do most Chevy EV owners charge up at home?
Most definitely. In fact, over 80-percent of Chevy EVs are charged at home, but it's also incredibly easy to find public DC Fast Charging stations close to where you live with the myChevrolet mobile app on your phone.
What Chevy EV rebates can Maryland drivers take advantage of?
Opt to buy a new Chevy EV in Maryland and you'll be eligible for a compelling Excise Tax Credit of up to $3,000. To add on to that attractive offer, you can also avail yourself of Federal EV Tax Credits of up to $7,500 and the EV Charging Station Rebate Programs that add up to $700 if you have a charging station installed at home. Best of all, our new Chevy EV models are exempt from emissions inspections in Maryland, so you can completely cross that item off your maintenance to do list.
Can Chevrolet EVs use HOV lanes in Maryland?
If you're looking to get around traffic with ease in the greater Hagerstown area, you'll be happy to note that our new Chevrolet EVs are eligible for a permit from the Maryland Department of Transportation that allows HOV lane access regardless of how many passengers are in the vehicle.
How much maintenance is needed for a Chevy all-electric vehicle?
Chevy vehicles are famous for their affordable cost-of-ownership, and our Chevy EVs are even better on that front. With no need for oil changes, transmission fluid flushes, spark plug replacement, or even belt replacement, you'll save quite a bit on car care in the long run with a new Chevy EV.
How far can a new Chevy electric vehicle go on a single charge?
While driving range can vary depending upon which Chevy EV model and trim you choose and the driving conditions you encounter, some new Chevy EVs can travel over 300 miles on a single charge, giving you plenty of juice to travel from Hagerstown to Martinsburg and up to Waynesboro without worrying about running out of power.
