You can charge your Chevrolet Bolt EV using a standard household outlet, a Level 2 charger, or a DC fast charger.
Charging at Home
- Level 1 Charging: This uses a standard 120-volt outlet and is the slowest option, taking around 9-12 hours to fully charge the battery. It's ideal for overnight charging.
- Level 2 Charging: This uses a 240-volt outlet and is much faster, taking around 4-6 hours to fully charge the battery. It's recommended for daily charging and requires installing a dedicated charging station.
Charging on the Go
- DC Fast Charging: This uses a high-voltage DC connection and can charge the battery to 80% in about 30 minutes. You can find DC fast chargers at public charging stations and some dealerships.
