Are you planning to get a new electric vehicle soon? A summer road trip in a new EV can be an electrifying experience in more ways than one. At Chevrolet Victorville, we have some tips for preparing for your road trip in a new Chevy EV, so you can make the drive from Hesperia, CA, to your destination and have as much fun as possible.
Find Charging Stations on Your Route
If you get an EV to drive in Apple Valley, CA, odds are the ability to give up gasoline was a factor in your decision-making. There are plenty of public charging stations for EVs throughout North America, but they are not as ubiquitous as gas stations. Luckily, with the MyChevrolet App, you can easily plan your road trip's route to ensure that you will always find an open charging station when you need one.
Optimize Your Driving Range
While you may know your vehicle's estimated driving range, how far you can drive from Barstow, CA, in practice can vary depending on how you drive. Electric vehicles like the Bolt EV and Bolt EUV have regenerative braking, which uses energy from braking to charge the vehicle's battery as you drive. Regenerative braking can lead to EVs having a longer driving range in cities than on highways, so take that into consideration when planning your route.
Find Hotels with Chargers
Finding places to charge your vehicle is easier when you just charge your vehicle overnight at the place you are staying. More hotels are adding EV charging stations every year, so keep an eye out for them as you plan your trip.
