The Three Electric Car Chargers for Chevy Bolt 

How long does it take to charge a Chevy Bolt? Poway drivers can charge up to an EPA-estimated 259 miles-worth of electric range in one sitting. Charge time, however, depend upon which of the available three electric car chargers you use: 

Level 1 Basic: 120-Volt Portable Charger Cord

This home charger allows you to charge up to 4 miles of charge per hour. It comes with a three-prong outlet and allows you to charge your vehicle anywhere. We recommend this option for overnight charging, as 12-hours can get you 48 miles of range—a nice baseline that will help you save time when you charge on the go at stations across Carlsbad. 

Level 2 Fast: 240-Volt Charging Unit

The 240-Volt charging unit allows you to charge 25 miles of charge per hour. You’ll find this electric car charger at public stations, but you can also purchase it for your home. If you purchase it for your home, you’ll have to have it professionally installed, and overnight charging is still recommended. That said, you can expect much faster charging. For instance, a 50 mile commute would only cost 2 hours of charging time. 

Level 3 Super Fast: DC Fast Charging

Only available at public stations, the DC Fast Charger gets you 100 miles of range in just 30 minutes, 160 miles of range each hour. These are handy for when you’re on the go, and you need to fill up fast! 

How to Find a Public Charging Station Near You

If you’re unsure of how to find your local public electric car charger stations, simply navigate to the Energy Assist feature on your myChevrolet mobile app. This handy device will pick charging stations for you based on how far you are and how long the wait time for use is.
