Questions and Support
1

As a proud owner of a Chevrolet electric vehicle, I’ve found myself digging for places to charge my car when I’m out and about in New Jersey. Since the availability of charging stations can really impact our driving experience, I wanted to start this conversation to gather some insights and advice from fellow Chevy owners.

What I’m Looking For

  • Locations: Are there specific charging stations in New Jersey that are known for being reliable and accessible, especially if you own a Chevy EV?
  • Dealership Support: Do any Chevrolet dealerships in the area offer charging facilities or fast chargers for their EVs? It would be helpful to know where I can go for service and a charge at the same time.
  • Charging Programs: I’ve heard some manufacturers have programs or partnerships to promote EV charging. Is Chevrolet doing anything similar in New Jersey? Any tips on incentives would be great!

If you have a Chevy EV, I recommend downloading the ChargePoint app. It’s user-friendly and shows real-time availability of charging stations all over NJ!

Great tip! I also like using PlugShare. It’s community-driven, and you get to see reviews from other users about the stations.

Don’t forget about the Electrify America network! They are popping up all over NJ and have some really fast chargers.

I love those stations! They have a great map on their website that helps you locate them easily.

You could also check out NJ’s official Department of Environmental Protection website. They have a map of all public charging stations across the state.

That’s a solid resource! Sometimes I just Google ‘EV charging stations near me’ and it works surprisingly well!

Lots of gas stations are adding EV chargers too. Just keep an eye out when you’re driving; you might find one that isn’t on the apps.

9

True! It feels like a game trying to find them sometimes, like a treasure hunt for chargers! Anyone else feel that way?

10

I’ve used Google Maps before, and it can show charging stations along with directions. Just make sure you filter for charging stations in that setting!

11

Interesting! I haven’t tried that yet. Is it reliable?

12

It’s generally reliable, but sometimes it doesn’t have the latest info. I always check a second source when I’m on a road trip.

13

That’s good to know! I’ll definitely keep that in mind on my next trip!

14

Honestly, just ask around. Local EV owners in your area might have their own favorite spots that aren’t marked online.

15

You can find EV charging stations through apps like PlugShare or ChargePoint! They also show costs associated with different locations.

16

That’s great info! I’ve noticed some charging stations charge by the minute, while others are pay-per-use. What’s generally more cost-effective in NJ?

NJ has a mix! Pay-per-use is convenient for short charges, but if you use a station often, a subscription might save you money in the long run.

18

Exactly! And don’t forget to scan for any local utility deals. Some offer discounted rates during off-peak hours.

It’s also worth checking if your Chevy qualifies for any rebates on charging fees from public stations.
