Chevy Bolt Charging Times

The 2022 Chevy Bolt delivers an EPA-estimated 259 miles of range on a single full charge, and you have three options for charging your Chevy Bolt around Virginia Beach:

Level 1 Basic: 120-Volt Portable Charger Cord

This first electric car charger option allows you to charge at your home and gives you four miles of charge per hour. Level 1 charging uses a 120-volt portable charger cord that is included with your purchase. You can charge anywhere as long as you have access to a 120-volt, three-prong household outlet. This is a good option for overnight charging because a 12-hour charge gives you about 48 miles of range. You should also remember to charge your electric car every day so the battery is always ready for your Chesapeake drives. 

Level 2 Fast: 240-Volt Charging Unit

The Level 2, 240-volt electric car charger is for home or public charging stations and provides about 25 miles per hour of charge. The Level 2 charging system must be professionally installed by a licensed electrician. If you drive around 40-50 miles per day, you can get enough charge in about two hours. If your battery is entirely depleted, the Bolt charges fully in 9.5 hours using this particular electric car charger.

Level 3 Super Fast: DC Fast Charging

Level 3 charging is for public stations only. It gives you about 100 miles of range in only 30 minutes of charge. Level 3 charging is only available at public locations around Suffolk with a DC Fast Charger station. DC Fast Charger ports are available as an upgrade for Chevy Bolt owners and are particularly useful if you’re out and about and need to fully charge your battery in a hurry. You can get up to 160 miles of range in only an hour.
