Craig Smith Chevrolet – Galion, OH

Choosing your next Chevy is exciting — but with electric vehicles becoming more popular, many drivers are wondering: Should I choose gas or go electric? At Craig Smith Chevrolet, we’re here to help you make the smart choice based on how you live, drive, and adventure.

⚡ Why Choose a Chevy EV?

Electric vehicles offer cutting-edge performance and real savings.

Key EV Advantages

  • No more gas station stops

  • Lower cost per mile to drive

  • Less maintenance — no oil changes!

  • Instant torque for quick acceleration

  • Zero emissions while driving

  • Eligible for potential tax incentives

Best for: Daily commuters, tech-lovers, eco-focused drivers, and families wanting future-ready transportation.

Chevy EVs to Consider

  • Equinox EV – Affordable SUV with impressive range

  • Silverado EV – Groundbreaking electric power + truck capability

  • Blazer EV – Stylish, sporty handling

  • Bolt EUV (pre-owned) – Budget-friendly entry into EV ownership

If you typically drive less than 200–250 miles per day and can charge at home, an EV may be the perfect fit.

⛽ Why Choose a Gas-Powered Chevy?

Gas engines remain the top choice for rugged capability, long-distance travel, and heavy towing.

Key Gas Vehicle Advantages

  • Quick fueling anywhere — ideal for road trips

  • Wide model and price variety

  • Strong towing and payload ratings

  • Familiar driving experience

Best for: Outdoor enthusiasts, contractors, long-distance travelers, and drivers who need max capability.

Top Gas Choices

  • Silverado 1500 – America’s favorite work-and-play truck

  • Tahoe & Suburban – Room for everyone and everything

  • Trailblazer & Equinox – Versatile and efficient SUVs

  • Malibu – Classic, comfortable sedan

If you often tow, travel, or drive outside major charging networks, gas is still the most convenient choice.
