How Long Does it Take to Charge a Chevy Bolt?

Read on to find out more about electric car charging, and then come to Classic Chevrolet Beaumont to find out more about owning an electric vehicle.

Types of Electric Car Chargers

1. Regular Outlet Home Charging: You can plug an electric vehicle into a grounded domestic 110V/120V outlet (three prongs) in your garage around Vidor. This type of charging takes a long time. Level 1 charging isn’t a good choice for fully charging a battery, but it’s a good option for topping off the charge overnight.
2. Brand-Approved Home Charging Units: Level 2 home charging units are usually professionally installed. Level 2 240V+ chargers are often brand specific for your car and give you much faster-charging rates than a Level 1 charger.
3. Public Charging Stations: Public electric car charging stations are popping up all over the country, with more being added every day. Many public chargers are located near shopping centers, parking garages, and hotels. There are two types of charging available at public stations: Level 2 and Level 3, which is known as lightning charging. Some public chargers are free to use, while others require subscriptions.
