GM Electric Vehicle FAQs

Is an EV worth it for me?

Determining if an EV is worth it depends on your driving habits, access to charging infrastructure and environmental priorities. EVs typically have lower operating costs due to cheaper electricity compared to gasoline and fewer maintenance requirements. Additionally, if you are looking to reduce your carbon footprint, an EV is a great option.

How many EV models does GM have?

There are currently three Chevy electric vehicles and two GMC EVs for sale on our lot, with several upcoming models further fueling the excitement for electrification in our showroom.1 The current lineup of General Motors EVs includes:

What are the three types of EV charger?

The three types of EV chargers are Level 1, Level 2, and DC Fast Charging. Level 1 uses a standard household outlet and provides a slow charge, suitable for overnight charging. Level 2, commonly found at local charging stations, requires a dedicated 240-volt outlet and offers a faster charge. DC Fast Charging is the quickest way to charge an EV and is available at select public EV charging stations.

Is charging an EV cheaper than gas?

Yes, charging an EV is generally cheaper than fueling a gasoline-powered vehicle. Electricity costs less per mile compared to gasoline, and many utilities offer special rates for EV owners. Additionally, some public charging stations are free or have lower fees, contributing to overall savings.

Do EVs require servicing?

Yes, but bear in mind that electric vehicles require less servicing than traditional gasoline vehicles because they have fewer moving parts and don't require oil changes. Regular maintenance for items like brakes and tires is necessary, however. It's also important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for software updates and inspections.

Are electric cars a solution to pollution?

Electric cars can significantly reduce pollution, especially when charged with renewable energy sources. They produce zero tailpipe emissions, which decreases air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. While the production of EVs and their batteries has some environmental impact, the overall lifecycle emissions are typically lower than those of internal combustion engine vehicles.
