If you’re tired of the hassle – and expense – of having to continually get gas for your car, it’s time to visit Phelps Chevrolet and upgrade your vehicle. The all-electric Chevy Bolt EUV is an excellent choice, as it can go up to 247 miles on a full battery. Of course, you still need to be able to keep it charged, and you can do this with a home charger. This guide goes over your options.
The Charger You Have Right Now
Right this minute, your home can charge your Chevy Bolt EUV. Any regular 120-volt outlet will do it. However, this isn’t very practical, as it will only add four miles of driving range per hour.
The Charger You Can Install
The much smarter way to keep your Chevy Bolt EUV charged is by having a 240-volt outlet installed for a Level 2 charger. This will fully charge your car’s battery in about 10 hours so that you can plug it in every night, and it will be ready to go in the morning. Not every home is wired to handle this more powerful outlet, so you should consult an electrician before doing anything.
Where Should You Have a Charger Installed?
The closer you can get your car to the charger, the better. If you have a garage, this would be the obvious place to put it. Otherwise, you’ll want to put it as close to your driveway as possible. A home charger can be installed outside your home and fitted with a cover to protect it from the elements.
