Top 4 Reasons to Buy a Chevrolet EV

Electric vehicles or EVs are popping up everywhere, including several options from Chevrolet. Chevy currently offers the Bolt EV and Bolt EUV, with plans to add a Silverado EV, Blazer EV, and Equinox EV within the next year. Here are the top four reasons to buy a Chevrolet EV when you decide to go electric. 

1. Cheaper to Drive 

Electric vehicles are approximately 40% cheaper to drive on average when compared to traditional gasoline vehicles. You can reduce the cost of running an EV even more by charging with a solar PV system or at free charging stations across the country. You also have fewer moving parts in an EV, making routine maintenance and servicing of an electric vehicle cheaper and less frequent than traditional vehicles. EVs don't require oil changes, timing belts, or spark plugs found on gasoline or diesel-powered engine. 

Although all EV batteries eventually degrade or become less efficient, most vehicle manufacturers offer a warranty on their batteries for up to eight years, which is longer than most people drive a vehicle. 

2. Better for the Environment 

Chevy EVs are better for the environment because they reduce harmful air pollutants and emissions from being released into the air we breathe. Electric vehicles have zero exhaust emissions when running but may create a small amount of greenhouse gas emissions when charged. Better air quality translates to better overall health, thus reducing health costs and problems associated with air pollution. EVs also reduce noise pollution as they're much quieter to run. 

3. Instant Torque 

With an electric engine, the torque is instantaneous, providing you with smooth acceleration when taking off from the starting line, freeway entrance, or from the stop light. You'll also have a lower center of gravity, improving your EVs responsiveness, ride comfort, and handling. Formula E, local drag strips, and thousands of EV drivers attest to the peppy driving performance offered via the instant torque of electric engines. 

4. Convenient Charging 

With an EV, there's no need to shop around to compare gas prices at your local stations. You can charge at home at a lower and more predictable cost. The added convenience of plugging in before you go to bed to wake up to a “full tank” every morning makes an electric vehicle attractive to many drivers. EVs charge from a standard 120-volt household outlet, a 240-volt Level 2 charging station that can be installed at your home, and DC Fast charging stations located across the nation. 

Chevrolet EVs 

You can enjoy a 259-mile range on the 2023 Chevy Bolt EV with a zero to 60 of just 6.5 seconds. For the EUV, you get 247 miles and a zero to 60 of 7 seconds. The up-and-coming EVs from Chevrolet include the Silverado, offering a 400-mile electric range and zero to 60 time under 4.5 seconds. The Silverado EV also features over 600 horsepower and 780 pound-feet of torque to compete with any traditional truck. The Blazer EV will be available summer of 2023 with a 320-mile range and zero to 60 rating under 4 seconds. For fall 2023, Chevy releases the Equinox EV with a 300-mile range.

4 Reasons to Lease a Chevy in 2025

Are you thinking about getting a new car this year? Leasing from a Chevy dealership has a ton of benefits, from costing less at signing to reducing the hassle of unexpected repairs. Continue reading to learn why you should consider leasing a Chevy in 2025 and how to find out your leasing options. 4 Reasons to Lease from a Chevy Dealership in 2025 1. Get Into a Newer Car More Often Instead of purchasing a car and selling it later when you're ready for another vehicle, leasing lets you return your car and get a new one at the end of each leasing period. This lets you get into a newer car more often and gives you the chance to experience top-of-the-line features that otherwise might not be accessible. more 2. Pay Less at Take Home Even with a loan, buying a car typically requires a few thousand dollars down or more just to be able to drive the car home. With a leased vehicle, the amount you pay when you take your car home is usually much less than it would be if you were to purchase the exact same vehicle. 3. Make Lower Monthly Payments When you lease a Chevy vehicle, the amount you pay each month is only equal to the depreciation of the car during the lease term. Usually, this is much less than it would cost to make payments towards an auto loan for a vehicle you intend to keep. 4. Get Your Car Fixed Under Warranty If anything unexpected goes wrong with your car, you can bring it to the dealership you leased it from for repair. Often, significant problems are covered under the manufacturer's warranty, especially if there's an issue with the engine or transmission. Available Leasing Options There are typically three types of vehicle leases drivers can choose from. A closed-end car lease is the most commonly used kind and sets strict terms that allow the driver to return the car and walk away at the end of the lease. An open-end lease is less common and allows more flexibility in terms of mileage, while a single-pay lease that allows you to pay all the monthly payments you would make to lease your car upfront at one time. The latter is the least frequently used kind of lease but may help drivers avoid paying as much in interest over the lease term. Contact us at Ewald Chevrolet in Oconomowoc, WI to get started.
