Electric vehicles

You probably need a home charger if you’d like to do your part for the planet but also would like to go about your business without planning life around your charging needs.

Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 are associated with charging speeds — not to be confused with the levels of autonomy.

More than 50,000 Bolt EV electric hatchbacks are being recalled again for a fire risk with the battery.

Access to the Supercharger network — one of the most widespread and fully functional charging networks in the U.S. — will be made available to non-Tesla EVs.
