Three types of EV charging are available for all-electric Chevy vehicles: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3/DC Fast Charging. Even within these categories, there can be significant variations in charging power depending on the charger and the vehicle. Get a brief overview of the different charging levels to discover the advantages of each.

Level 1 charging is one of the most accessible types of charging, but also the slowest. Using the charging cord that comes standard with your EV, you can plug your vehicle into any household 120-volt wall outlet and enjoy convenient charging wherever you go. However, there is a trade-off—Level 1 charging only adds 1 to 4 miles of range per hour of charging, making it inconvenient for those needing a quick range top-up.

Due to its increased charging speed and easy installation, Level 2 charging is the most popular home charging method. Utilizing a 240-volt industrial outlet (like those used for large appliances), Level 2 charging stations can easily be installed in your garage, providing between 7 and 40 miles of range per hour.

Level 3 charging, also known as DC Fast Charging, is the fastest charging method available for EVs. Depending on the charging station, Level 3 chargers can add as much as 100 miles in just 30 minutes! However, Level 3 charging is not available as a home charging solution. Drivers can only access DC Fast Charging at public charging stations around Grand Blanc.

For those needing a flexible charging solution on the go, Chevy offers the Dual Level Charge Cord Set. This versatile charging set offers a standard vehicle charging port, several feet of cable, and an interchangeable plug that works with both 120-volt and 240-volt outlets, allowing drivers to access Level 1 and Level 2 charging as needed.

Drivers looking for faster at-home charging should consider the GM PowerUp 2 Charger. Though it requires professional installation to reach its full charging capability, the GM PowerUp 2 Charger provides over 50% more power than the Dual Level Charge Cord Set.

The GM Energy PowerShift Charger is the strongest EV charger available for Chevy vehicles, offering up to a 67% increase in charging capability compared to the GM PowerUp 2 Charger. Once professionally installed in your home, this charger can utilize its bidirectional charging function to either charge your vehicle or use the energy from your vehicle to power your home in the event of an outage.
