WATCH: Chevrolet US gives Bolt EV owner’s garage a gas station-inspired facelift

One of the best benefits of using an EV, per Chevy Bolt EV owner Pamela Talley, is not having to go to gas stations anymore. And we get her. That means no more having to go out of your way to fuel up and no more having to wait in line for your turn. Unfortunately for Pam, that also means no more gas station snacks.

That said, Chevrolet gave this lucky EV owner’s garage a gas station-inspired makeover — so she won’t miss the guilty pleasure snacks found at the gas station mini-mart. With “The Great Garage EVolution,” Chevy demonstrates how EV drivers can have the best of both worlds: indulging in the tasty treats they love, while charging their electric car at home.

The Golden Bowtie brand released a video of how they gave Pam’s garage a facelift on their official YouTube channel. You can check it out here.

Chevrolet collaborated with celebrity designer and builder Wendell Holland, recognized for his popular television shows in home design, to redesign Denver resident and Chevy Bolt owner Pamela Talley’s garage into an at-home convenience store.

Chevy even polled the brand’s social media audience to gather followers’ favorite gas station snacks and incorporated these into the makeover. Pamela’s garage is now stocked with gas station favorites such as a frozen drink machine, hot dog warmer, beef jerky buffet, chips, candy, a drink fridge, and more.

“I've seen firsthand how homeowners are evolving their space to fit the EV lifestyle, so collaborating with Chevy on this garage transformation was a seamless fit. To create the ultimate garage space for Pamela, we incorporated inspiration from beloved gas station snacks and transformed the space into a modern oasis for EV living,” said Holland.

With many consumers considering the switch to electric vehicles, Chevrolet is helping owners see the opportunity to reimagine their own garage. In fact, Chevrolet is making it easier for Bolt EV and Bolt EUV owners to charge at home. Chevrolet will cover the standard installation of a Level 2 charging outlet for eligible customers who purchase or lease a 2022 or 2023 model year Bolt EV or Bolt EUV. This initiative is made in partnership with Chevy’s official EV charging solutions installation partner, Qmerit.

“One of the best features of living with an EV is charging, or ‘refueling,’ at home. We want to provide Chevy customers the seamless ability to enjoy charging at home as we bring more electric vehicles to market. This garage makeover is one example of the creative ways EV drivers can enjoy what they miss by skipping the gas station,” said Chevrolet Marketing Vice President Steve Majoros.
