How Long Does It Take to Charge an Electric Car?

 
How long does it take to charge a Chevy EV, like the Bolt EV or Bolt EUV? It can vary based on the charging method. Charging time can range anywhere from 24 hours using a basic 120V home charging outlet to less than three hours at a fast-charging public DC charging station. We know you’ll want to keep your EV charged for your Ocean City commute, so let’s delve into the details below.

Public Charging Stations

It’s getting easier to find a station in the Mays Landing area to charge your Chevy EV. There are two types of public charging stations, and charging time varies significantly between them:

Basic Public AC Charging (240V)

  • Up to 7.4 KW per hour
  • About 25 miles per hour

Fast Charging/DC Charging

  • Less than 50 KW per hour
  • About 100 miles of charge in half an hour                                                                                         

Home Charging

Level 1 home charging is easy: just plug the cord that came with your Chevy EV into an existing 120V outlet in your home. But this is the slowest way to charge your vehicle. The faster way to charge your EV is by upgrading to a 240V 1.2 charger (this will need to be installed by an electrician, but Chevrolet will do it for free with the purchase or lease of a Bolt EV or Bolt EUV). Here are the home electric car charging times by charger type:

Level 1 Home Charging (120V)

  • Less than 2 KW per hour
  • About 4 miles per hour

Level 2 Home Charging (240V)

  • Up to 7.4 KW per hour
  • 25 miles per hour
