Electric vs. Gas-Powered Vehicles

Chevy EV

Chevrolet electric vehicles (EVs) use advanced lithium-ion batteries and electric motors instead of gasoline and traditional engines. Unlike gas-powered cars, which rely on internal combustion to run, EVs operate without explosions or many of the moving parts that typically wear down over time. This means fewer maintenance needs, no oil changes, and fewer unexpected repair costs-helping you save money over the life of the vehicle.

Another major benefit is the cost of driving. Gas prices in Wisconsin can add up quickly, especially for those with longer commutes. While EVs still require electricity to charge, it's typically much cheaper than filling up with fuel.

Chevy EVs are also highly efficient. For instance, the 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV offers an EPA-estimated 102 MPGe in the city and 87 on the highway. MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent) is a rating that shows how far an EV can travel using the same amount of energy as a gallon of gasoline. In short, Chevy EVs go farther for less-and that's more money in your pocket.

EVs also offer a quieter, smoother driving experience with instant torque, providing quick acceleration from a stop. Because they produce zero tailpipe emissions, driving a Chevy EV means you're helping reduce air pollution and your overall environmental impact.

Why choose electric?

Electric vehicles offer a perfect balance of efficiency and power. As we've seen with Chevrolet's lineup of electric models, you don't have to compromise on performance to get exceptional energy savings. These vehicles deliver impressive fuel efficiency ratings while still providing plenty of horsepower and strong towing capacity. Plus, they come loaded with modern features and comforts that make every drive enjoyable.
Switching to an electric vehicle means saying goodbye to frequent trips to the gas station and hello to lower running costs. With a Chevy EV, you get smooth acceleration, advanced technology, and the peace of mind that comes with driving a vehicle designed for the future.
If you're ready to experience the benefits of electric driving or want to learn more about which Chevy EV fits your lifestyle, our team is here to help. Don't hesitate to contact us with any questions - we're excited to guide you toward your next vehicle.

Maintenance

Electric vehicles require less maintenance than traditional gasoline-powered cars because they have fewer moving parts and don't rely on oil or filters. With no engine oil to change and fewer components that wear out, you'll save time and money on routine upkeep.

Key maintenance tasks for Chevy EVs include tire rotations, brake inspections, and battery health checks. Thanks to regenerative braking, the brakes often last longer than on conventional vehicles. Regular software updates also help keep your EV running smoothly and efficiently.

By choosing a Chevy EV, you're not only enjoying advanced technology and performance-you're also benefiting from a simpler, more affordable maintenance experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Charging times vary depending on the charger type. Using a DC fast charger, you can get an 80% charge in about 30 minutes. Home Level 2 chargers typically take 6-8 hours for a full charge, while Level 1 chargers may take overnight or longer.

Driving range depends on the model and battery size. For example, the 2025 Chevy Blazer EV offers an estimated range of over 300 miles on a full charge, giving you plenty of distance for daily commuting and longer trips.

You can charge your Chevy EV at home using Level 1 or Level 2 chargers, and at public charging stations. Our dealership also offers a DC fast charger for quick, convenient charging.
Cold temperatures can reduce an EV’s battery range temporarily because batteries operate less efficiently in the cold.
