There are now even more reasons to consider a Chevrolet EV. In addition to helping the planet, you get to help your bank account. Here, Team Chevrolet GMC has the details on the federal tax credit you can claim for your electric vehicle. How Does the Federal EV Tax Credit Work? While electric cars are becoming increasingly popular, the government wants to increase the number of people who own them. This is why Uncle Sam offers up to $7,500 for a new EV and up to $4,000 for a used one. Some criteria have to be met, including the following: • Vehicle and majority of battery components need to have been made in North America • Battery size has to be at least 7 kWh • The gross vehicle weight rating of the car has to be less than 14,000 pounds • Vehicle MSRP must be $80,000 or less • Income requirements also apply Does Pennsylvania Offer EV Incentives? They do, but it gets a bit complicated. The current program is only in effect until June 30, 2024 (we anticipate it will be renewed sometime after that). The Pennsylvania DEP also lays out several levels of rebates depending on the vehicle type, your household’s net income, and several other factors, with lower-income families potentially qualifying for additional rebates. The good news is that the current program qualifies EVs for as much as a $2,000 rebate, up from the previous $750.

If you have never purchased a car, it’s essential to be prepared. You will encounter a mound of paperwork during the process, as you will get a lot of information, along with quite a few things that need to be signed. While many of these documents will be necessary, there is one in particular to pay attention to when shopping for used cars in Huntingdon, PA: the title. Team Chevrolet GMC goes over what you should know about it. What is a Car Title? A car title is like its birth certificate. It is a legal document issued by the state showing who owns the vehicle. The title accompanies the car throughout its life and is reissued for any new owner or state of residence. Why is a Car Title Important? When you plan to buy a car, looking at its title is vital. You need to know that the party selling you the vehicle actually owns it. Closely examining a title will also tell you if there are any outstanding liens on the car that could affect the sale and other important information (like if the car’s being sold as salvaged). Obtaining a Car Title If you pay cash for your car, you will receive the title immediately. However, if you plan to finance, the financing company will hold the title. Once the vehicle is completely paid off, the title will be yours.

One of the reasons drivers love the Chevy Silverado 1500 is that they can use this tough pickup for work as well as for every day driving. But as our Huntingdon Chevy service technicians know, hard work can lead to big messes, especially in the bed of your truck. Today they’ve got their top tips for cleaning your Chevy Silverado bed, and their suggestions for protecting your truck bed. Chevy Silverado Bed Cleaning Tips The type of mess in your Chevy truck bed might affect what’s needed, but here are the basics for a good clean-up! Start with a sweep. Even if the mess is mostly mud or grease, cleaning will go more smoothly if you sweep out dust, dirt, and debris first. High pressure spray. If you don’t have a pressure washer a powerful hose will do, but the more powerful the spray the deeper you’ll get into the grime, and the easier the next step will be. Scrub your bed. A basic car soap should do the trick, combined with a stiff brush. Be sure to rinse and let your truck bed thoroughly dry (so pick a sunny day!) when you are done. Protecting Your Truck Bed Now that it’s clean, you’re going to want to protect the bed of your truck moving forward! Chevrolet accessories are the best way to do this.
