How to Choose the Right Charging Station for Your EV
It’s easy to choose a charger for your EV since Chevy EVs are compatible with Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 (also known as DC Fast Charging) stations. Your choice of electric charger will depend on how much time you have available. Level 1 charging generally isn’t available at public charging stations since it’s the slowest method. Level 2 charging stations are great if your EV battery is 10-80% charged and you want to top it off but not fill it. But if your battery is low and you need to refill it, a Level 3 DC Fast Charging station is needed. Most EV batteries can be fully charged in under an hour with DC Fast Charging.
