Home Charging

Powering Your Chevrolet Electric Vehicle at Home with Ease

At LeValley Chevrolet GMC in Benton Harbor, MI, we understand that owning a Chevrolet electric vehicle (EV) comes with exciting benefits, including effortless at-home charging. Whether you’re browsing electric vehicles for sale or visiting our electric showroom, knowing your home charging options ensures your Chevy EV is always ready to go.

Understanding Your Home Charging Options for Chevrolet EVs

Charging your Chevy EV at home is simple and convenient, giving you full control over your vehicle’s power. There are two primary home charging methods designed to suit various lifestyles:

Level 1 Charging – Using a Standard Household Outlet

• Convenience: Level 1 charging utilizes a standard 120-volt household outlet. It’s as easy as plugging your Chevy EV into any regular socket at home.
• Charging Speed: Ideal for overnight charging, Level 1 typically adds about 3 to 5 miles of range per hour, perfect for drivers with lower daily mileage.
• No Additional Equipment Needed: The portable charging cable included with your Chevy EV makes this an immediate, no-fuss solution.

Level 2 Charging – Dedicated Home Charging Station

• Faster Charging: Level 2 home chargers use a 240-volt power supply, similar to what powers large appliances like dryers. This option can recharge your Chevy EV in a matter of hours, often providing up to 25-30 miles of range per hour.
• Professional Installation: Installation by a licensed electrician ensures your charging station is safely connected and optimized for your home’s electrical system.
• Convenience and Efficiency: Level 2 charging is perfect for daily commuters or anyone looking to maximize EV availability with quicker turnaround times.

Choosing the Right Charger for Your Chevrolet EV

Selecting a home charging solution depends on your driving habits, garage or parking setup, and desired charging speed. At our Chevy EV dealership in Benton Harbor, our experts help you evaluate:

• Your typical daily mileage needs
• Available electrical infrastructure at your home
• Future-proofing your setup for potential EV upgrades

We also provide guidance on trusted Level 2 charger brands compatible with Chevrolet electric vehicles, ensuring seamless integration and optimal charging performance.
