McClinton Chevrolet Opens the First DC Fast Charger in Wood County

In fact, you won’t find another one until you hit Athens if you’re traveling west, Charleston if you’re heading south, Morgantown if you’re heading east, or Cambridge if you’re traveling north. Earlier this year we installed this unit, and it has been incredibly popular with locals as well as out-of-state travelers.

This 60 kW Charger can charge Electric Vehicles equipped with DC fast charging much faster than on a Level 1 or Level 2 charger at home. How quickly it can charge your vehicle depends on the make and model.

Since installing this unit a few months ago, we’ve seen people with all types of vehicles stop by. The Ford Mustang Mach-E and Lightning are common around here, as are Rivians, Polestars, Audi e-Trons, and even a few Mercedes EVs have used this charger.

Our unit makes use of a CCS connector. However, if you have a Tesla, you can charge here as long as you have an adapter. At this time, we do not offer a CHAdeMO connector as vehicles equipped with this port are not in demand at this time.

However, if you stop by during business hours, we encourage you to come into the showroom and say hello. We’d love to discuss the Blazer EV, the Bolt EUV, and the upcoming Silverado EV. We’ll even be happy to talk to you about the Solar Panels we have installed on the roof of our showroom.

A lot of people wonder why we went to the trouble of installing the DC fast charger. As we start to sell more EVs, we want our customers to have this option to quickly charge their vehicles. We don’t want to send them off-site for charging. Plus, 𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐄𝐕 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤.
