Quite a few Macon and Byron drivers would love to make the switch to an affordable, efficient electric vehicle like the Chevy Bolt, but they’re concerned about how long it takes to charge. If you are interested but concerned too, Five Star Chevrolet can help! While switching from a gasoline engine to an electric one does involve changing some habits, with how you fuel being the biggest one, it’s relatively simple thanks to home electric car chargers and knowing how each level of charging functions. Find out more about making the switch to an electric Chevy and Chevy Bolt charge time with Five Star Chevrolet.
The amount of time it takes to charge any electric vehicle depends on the size of the battery (measured in kilowatts) and the type of charger. With an EPA-estimated range of 259 miles, the Chevy Bolt charge time will fit right into your busy Robins Air Force Base schedule. Let’s start with the times it takes different electric car chargers to get the job done:
This is the slowest charging level, but it’s also the easiest in some ways because it doesn’t require an electric car charger. All you need is your Bolt’s portable charger cord and a three-prong 120-volt outlet. But be prepared to wait, because it’ll take about 12 hours to get 48 miles of driving power.
Most home electric car chargers provide Level 2 charging. This is a good balance between being able to use your home’s electric circuitry without racking up a lot of wait time. You’ll get about 25 miles added to your battery for every hour you charge. One of the most common ways to change an electric vehicle is overnight on a Level 2 home electric car charger which will let you start the day with a full battery. You can also find Level 2 public charging stations, which are great for topping off your battery while you shop or dine.
More and more public Level 3 charging stations are arriving in the Warner Robins area, giving EV drivers a whopping 100 miles of charge in about 30 minutes of charge time. Level 3 charging is only available at public stations, since homes aren’t equipped with the necessary electrical equipment to generate the DC current, but that’s not a big deal when you can get a full battery charge while doing your grocery shopping.
Knowing how long it takes to charge a Chevy Bolt should take some of the trepidation away from getting behind the wheel of this fun Chevy compact hatchback. Are you ready to get electrified?
