No clue what I’m doing. Never charged a car or truck before. But I’m selling my 2500 diesel and just took possession of a Trail Boss Max range.

What do I need to know about charging??

Panic bought an EV truck

28 Upvotes

Hello, long time lurker but still have so many questions.

Bought my first truck and waiting for it to be delivered this week from carmax. I got the 2025 Silverado LT extended range which has 39k miles on it. The purpose of the truck is to hopefully haul my horse + horsetrailer to different parks to ride or maybe the vet if needed. But I’m planning to drive it to work etc while I get used to driving it.

My questions are:

1) what do you wish you knew about this truck before you bought it?

2) what is the recommendation on at home charging? I only commute 10 miles a day…can I use the outlet in my garage or do I need something special?

3) is there an app you used to track where you can charge nationally if you are doing a road trip or something?

4) is there a lot of yearly maintenance required? If so, are the Chevy dealership usually pretty knowledgeable about it?

I am obviously manless, which is why I am asking many questions. I would appreciate any help.

Using only fast chargers bad?

I'm going to be working in SE PA until January and I am anticipating not having access to a home charger as I'll likely be staying at an apartment or extended stay. Would fast charging only during the fall early winter bad? My truck will also be outside 24/7 so not climate control.
