Chevrolet’s Electric Surge: How It Became the Fastest-Growing EV Brand

At Friendly Chevrolet in Dallas, the future of driving is already here. With the EVHQ Charging Park—the first of its kind in the country—Friendly Chevrolet is transforming the EV charging experience. And there’s big news: Chevrolet is now the fastest-growing EV brand in the U.S. This growth isn’t just about numbers—it’s about smart models, better value, and meeting drivers where they are.

The New Benchmark for American Supercars

The all-new 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X has made headlines worldwide after conquering the famous Nürburgring Nordschleife in Germany. With a blistering lap time of 6 minutes, 49.275 seconds, the ZR1X is now the fastest American production car ever to lap the ‘Ring. That means Chevy’s newest supercar doesn’t just keep up with Europe’s best—it beats them at their own game.

What Makes the ZR1X Special?

Friendly Chevrolet in Dallas is redefining the electric vehicle (EV) experience with its innovative EVHQ Charging Park. This first of it’s kind charging facility opened in March 2023. Friendly Chevrolet’s EVHQ is a full-service charging facility featuring eight 120 kW fast chargers, protective canopies, and amenities like a dog park, fire pit lounge, and café. Notably, the park is open to all EV drivers, regardless of brand, attracting a diverse clientele—only 25% of monthly charging sessions are for Chevrolets, with the remainder including brands like Porsche, BMW, and Ford.

The 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) is off to an electrifying start, and Chevrolet has wasted no time making its mark. Corvette Racing’s Z06 secured a thrilling victory in the LM GT3 class at the 1812KM of Qatar, a grueling 10-hour endurance race that pushed teams and machines to their limits. This win not only cements the Corvette’s reputation as a world-class endurance racer but also showcases Chevrolet’s race-proven innovation that you can experience firsthand at Friendly Chevrolet.
