The Level 1 electric car charger is the slowest option, providing 4 miles of range per hour of charging.
Level 1 charging is designed for home use via a 120-volt portable charger cord standard-equipped with the Bolt EV. It’s compatible with any household-style 120-volt three-prong outlet. It would take approximately 65 hours to fully charge the Chevy Bolt using a Level 1 charger, so it’s best utilized overnight to replenish the battery for the following day’s commute: 12 hours of overnight charging would provide about 48 miles of range.
Level 2 is a mid-range option that can be purchased for home use or accessed at public electric car charger stations. At this level, you’ll earn about 25 miles of range per hour of charging.
The Level 2 240-volt charging unit comes highly recommended for your home, as it allows you to get a lot more range in a shorter amount of time than the Level 1 charger. Should you choose to purchase this electric car charger for your home, it will be installed by a certified electrician.
To further break down Level 2 charging, let’s say you start the week off with a full charge or 259 miles of range. If you drive approximately 40-50 miles per day, you’d be able to get back to a full charge in only two hours using a 240-volt unit! What if you travel farther and use 100 miles of range, roundtrip? You would need about 4.5 hours to fully recharge. When the battery is empty, the Bolt EV charges back to 100% in just about 9.5 hours on Level 2.
Finally, there’s the Level 3 DC fast charging option. This is only available at public stations and your Bolt EV must be equipped with the proper plug-in port. Using a DC fast charger, you can get 100 miles of range in 30 minutes.
If you want the option to go on long road trips without range anxiety, it’s recommended to opt for a DC fast charger port on your Bolt EV. Using this quick electric car charger, you can replenish up to 160 miles of range in just one hour.
