Why Buy a New Chevy Electric Vehicle?
In an era where rising gas prices are impacting our everyday purchases, it’s safe to say that we’re all looking for ways to save -- both now and in the long term. Luckily, Chevrolet offers a solution in the form of its electric vehicle lineup. From the available EV rebates and tax incentives offered by every level of government to the per-mile EV running costs that far undercut those of gas-powered cars, it’s no wonder that more Californians than ever are making the switch to an electric car. If you’re ready to stop paying CA gas prices for good, stop by our Chevrolet dealer in Lodi and see why now is the time to buy a new Chevy Equinox EV, Blazer EV, or Silverado EV nearby.
Chevy EV Maintenance Benefits
Though there are plenty of reasons to buy an electric vehicle, including performance, technology and efficiency, one of the top perks for California Chevy customers is the reduced maintenance. Electric cars are like any other electronic device in that the serviceability requirements are minimal. With combustion engines, oil changes need to happen every few thousand miles, and owners must also stay current with belt and hoses, tune-ups, and more. Vehicles like the new Chevy Equinox EV, Blazer EV, or Silverado EV eliminate the need for all of that. Though you’ll need to still schedule EV service in Lodi for simple things like tire rotations and wiper fluid top-offs, you can say goodbye to costly gas-engine car repair. At Sanborn Chevrolet in Lodi, we also offer all our customers the option for Mobile Service. Our Mobile Van will come to you. Whether you are at work, broken down, or at home, our Mobile Van can take care of you. One of our certitied technicans will be able to come and diagnose the problem and if possible get you right back on the road, and if not they will assist you transportation and with repairs back at the dealership.
EV Charging Station Flexibility
Most new EVs for sale in Lodi offer drivers three levels of charging options, known as Level 1, 2, and 3 charging. Level 1 is your standard 120V household outlet. Level 2 charging usually takes the form of a 240V dedicated wall charger or public EV charging station. Level 3 EV charging refers to the ultra-fast electric car chargers that can cut a Chevy Equinox EV, Blazer EV or Silverado EV charge time down to just a few hours or even minutes. Because all the new electric Chevy models are compatible with all three charging options, you can regain some Equinox EV, Blazer EV or Silverado EV range just about anywhere there’s an open outlet or charging station nearby; including at the Tesla Super charging stations if you have the adaptor on hand. See our parts department for the Tesla adaptpr as we have a supply on hard for your next road trip.

|---|---|---|---|
| Typical Rate of Charge (miles regained per hour of charge) | 4 miles/hour | 25 miles/hour | 100 miles/30 minutes |
