Chevy Electric Vehicle Charger Installation
General Motors has laid out an aggressive "All-Electric Future'' vision, with Chevy playing a major role in bringing affordable electric vehicles to the masses. By 2025, Chevy plans to launch an all-electric Silverado pickup and introduce several new electric models like the Blazer EV and Equinox EV to join the Bolt EV/EUV lineup. 
In the long-term, GM/Chevy aims to exclusively offer electric vehicles by 2035, phasing out internal combustion engines. This bold electric roadmap requires investing $35 billion through 2025 across electric product development, manufacturing and supply chain transformation. Chevy's future portfolio aims to offer an affordable, capable EV option for every customer segment.
As Chevy rapidly expands its all-electric model range over the next decade, homeowners across Southeast Wisconsin can partner with Ideal Electric to integrate Level 1 or Level 2 home charging solutions tailored for their specific Chevy EV. Ideal Electric's certified electricians stay current on charging technologies from all the major automakers to ensure a seamless, optimized charging setup at your residence.

Level 1 & 2 EV Chargers For Chevy Vehicles
With 80% of electric vehicle charging happening at home, having the right residential charging setup is essential for Chevy EV models like the Bolt EV/EUV, Blazer EV, Equinox EV and Silverado EV. Ideal Electric is your local expert for integrating tailored home charging solutions.
Level 1 Chargers for Chevy EVs
All Chevy electric vehicles like the Bolt EV, Bolt EUV and upcoming models come standard with a portable Level 1 charging cable compatible with a 120V household outlet. Level 1 is a convenient solution for occasional charging top-ups, but delivers a relatively slow charge rate of just 3-5 miles of range added per hour. While affordable with no special installation needed, Level 1 has limitations for regularly replenishing an EV's larger battery from a full depletion.
Level 2 Chargers for Chevy EVs
For significantly faster charging speeds at home, Chevy recommends Level 2 charging stations hardwired for dedicated 240V circuits. Level 2 operates similarly to an electric clothes dryer circuit, providing 10-25 miles of range per hour depending on the Chevy EV model and charging output. A Level 2 home charger installed for the maximum 48A output can fully recharge the Chevy Bolt EV's battery pack in as little as 7 hours.
Level 2 is the preferred home charging method for most Chevy EV drivers, allowing you to conveniently and quickly recharge overnight. While more expensive initially than Level 1, Level 2 chargers often include smart features like Wi-Fi connectivity for monitoring and scheduling charge times. Professional installation by licensed electricians like Ideal Electric ensures Level 2 stations operate safely on a dedicated 240V circuit.
Breakdown of EV Charging Levels
Level 1: 120v 15amp, adds around 4 miles of range per hour
Level 2: 240v 30 amp, adds around 17 miles of range per hour
Level 2 (upgraded): 240v 50amp, adds around 25 miles of range per hour
What to Consider Before Installing a Chevy EV Charger at Home
Home charging for electric vehicles is quite feasible as long as you have access to an electrical outlet and a designated parking spot. Even if you don't have an enclosed garage, weatherproof and sealed Level 2 charging stations can be professionally installed on the exterior of your residence. This outdoor installation allows for convenient EV charging right at your home.
For those living in apartments or condominiums, an increasing number of residential communities are proactively adding shared charging facilities within their parking garages or lots. As an EV owner in such a multi-unit complex, be sure to inquire with your property management about the availability of communal charging amenities and the process to gain access.
No matter your living situation, our experienced electricians will assess your specific circumstances and provide tailored solutions to enable safe, reliable charging for your electric vehicle at your primary parking location. With some planning, home charging can become an integral part of your EV ownership experience.
Chevy Wall Chargers & Dual Level Cords
Ideal Electric provides installation services for Chevy’s range of charging options. The Dual Level Charge Cord, which is Chevy’s Level 1 charging option, is compatible with most standard electrical outlets and offers portability. For those seeking faster charging, Ideal Electric offers Level 2 Wall Chargers, which require a 240-volt appliance-like outlet or can be directly hardwired into your home.
