Your hybrid has two engines that both need proper maintenance. New hybrid drivers sometimes find this a little daunting, but once you get used to your new Chevy hybrid maintenance routine, it'll be a breeze. Here are some general guidelines to follow, and you can make the entire process easier with a ​ regular upkeep schedule at our service center. Chevy Hybrid Systems: Maintenance for Efficiency and Performance Protect Your Battery From Extreme Temperatures Your car's battery pack is likely to perform wonderfully for the full lifespan of your car, as long as you protect it from harm. One threat to hybrid batteries is extreme heat or cold. During summer, keep your car out of direct sunlight as much as possible. During winter, keep it parked in a garage or snug under an insulated car cover overnight. more Neither Deplete Nor Fully Charge Your Battery All electric motors can become harmed by fast and full charging. Fully charging your battery may create excessive heat, voltage stress, oxidization, and other issues, shortening its overall capacity and lifespan. Allowing your battery to completely deplete also causes damage. The ideal range is 20 to 80 percent of a full charge; try to stay within this sweet spot at all times. Maintain Both Engine Cooling Systems Just as your car has two engines, it has at least two cooling systems, which are the primary defense against overheating and rapid engine destruction. Always keep both the coolant and refrigerant topped up and in great condition. The cooling systems for battery packs can vary in design, so it's best to consult your owner's manual or a trusted technician for the optimal upkeep protocols for your hybrid's cooling systems. Change Your Motor Oil Frequently You may be using the gasoline engine less in your hybrid, but it still needs to be kept well-lubricated with routine oil changes. Twice a year is usually the ideal oil-change schedule. Have Your Brakes Inspected Twice a Year Similarly, the friction brakes in a hybrid are under less pressure because of the regenerative braking system. Nonetheless, your brakes are vital for road safety and should be examined by a technician every six months, worn-out pads and rotors quickly replaced. Book Routine Chevy Hybrid Maintenance at Your Local Dealership There are several further important hybrid upkeep services, including air filter replacements, tire rotations, fluid flushes, and more.

Chevy knows how to build great trucks. The 1948 Thriftmaster, the 1955 Cameo Carrier, the El Camino, the Silverado: the list is endless, really. These trucks were/are tough, stylish, sometimes outrageous, but always brilliant in some form or another. Now, the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV carries this legacy forward. It's every bit the Silverado you know and love, but now it runs on battery power. Exploring the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV: The Future of Trucks Range and Towing Capacity Of course, you need a truck that can chew those highway miles without being bogged down, and that's what the Silverado delivers. Chevy estimates that this car has a range of 440 miles. That's 30 more miles than the longest-range Rivian, about 100 more than the Cybertruck, and a whopping 120 miles longer than the F-150 Lightning. Impressed? more But it is not just a range champ; the Silverado EV is built for hard work. It can tow up to 10,000 pounds, putting it in line with some of the best in the business, EV and gas-powered models included. Charging You have three options when it comes to charging your Silverado EV. First up, there's the good old home charging setup. Just plug it into a standard outlet, and when you wake up, it's ready to go. Next, if you're looking for more speed, you can opt for the available 240-volt level 2 charger. This will give your truck a much quicker top-up, meaning you'll spend less time waiting and more time out on the road. Finally, if you're really in a hurry, there are DC fast chargers available. According to GM, your truck can add about 100 miles of range after just 10 minutes of fast charging. You can grab some coffee, stretch your legs, and then zoom off with enough juice to complete your journey. All the Horsepower You Need When empty, the Silverado EV can go from 0 to 60 in under 4.5 seconds. You get all this power thanks to the Wide Open Watts mode, which delivers 754 horsepower and 785 pound-feet of torque. In normal driving mode, however, you're likely to see less power, as it is designed to be more efficient for everyday use. So, while it can unleash serious speed when you want it to, it's also smart enough to tone it down when you're just cruising around. Storage The Silverado EV comes with a 5-foot, 11-inch bed, but it's not a one-trick pony. Fold down the midgate, and you're looking at over 9 feet of pure space waiting for those odd-shaped or large items. Need to push the boundaries even further? Drop the tailgate for 10 feet, 11 inches of hauling capability. Want to experience the future of truck driving? The 2024 Silverado is ready to show you.
