Phelps Chevrolet EV FAQ
Proven Chevy vehicles keep people coming through our doors every day. As their EV equivalents make their way to our dealership, you may be one of the growing numbers of shoppers with questions about a Chevy EV. To that end, we thought it would be a good idea to list some of the questions we often answer about these eco-friendly automobiles.
What EVs does the Chevy brand manufacture?
When they visit our Greenville, NC Chevrolet dealership, many drivers ask about the EVs the Chevy brand produces. The Chevy Bolt EV, Chevrolet Bolt EUV, Chevy Silverado EV, and Chevy Blazer EV promise an electrified and electrifying ride.
Do electric vehicles have engines?
Unlike traditional cars and trucks — or hybrids and PHEVs, which are at least partially electrified — EVs don’t have engines. Instead, a substantial battery pack sends electricity to an electric motor or two.
How can I tell how efficient an EV is?
As you look through the latest Chevy models at Phelps Chevrolet, you’ll see that the efficiency of gas-only and hybrid vehicles is measured in MPG. MPGe is the equivalent of MPG for electric cars. By comparing MPG and MPGe, you can gauge the efficiency of vehicles with internal combustion engines compared to the efficiency of all-electric automobiles.
Are Chevy EVs less powerful than gas-only cars?
Contrary to popular belief, electric vehicles typically deliver an enviable amount of torque and horsepower. In fact, unlike traditional vehicles’ torque curves, EVs deliver peak torque from a dead stop, which means they can jet from zero up to 60 miles per hour quickly.
How can I charge an EV?
Drivers who contact or stop by Phelps Chevrolet are often curious about charging an electric vehicle. You can charge an EV at home using a 120- or 240-volt outlet or a professionally installed charging station. Alternatively, you can visit a public Level 2 (240-volt) or Level 3 DC Fast Charging station to charge your EV.
