Before you buy a new Chevy Bolt EV or EUV you’re going to want to know the details about the Chevy Bolt Level 3 charging time. Like most EVs, the Chevy Bolt battery experiences is shortest charging times when connected to a Level 3 DC fast charger. What’s the difference between the three charging levels, and how does a Level 3 charging station differ from the Level 1 and Level 2 charging you’re likely doing with your home charger in Bellevue or Papillion? Find out the details you want to know about how to charge your EV battery while on the go with Woodhouse Chevrolet.
Like most EV drivers in Council Bluffs, IA, we know you’re looking to optimize your time when you’re on the go. We also know that some EV drivers might be hesitant to take their Bolt EV or Bolt EUV on longer road trips because of range anxiety. That shouldn’t be the case as more and more fast-charging Level 3 public charging stations become available. Using a DC, the Chevy Bolt Level 3 charging time average is 100 miles of charge per 30-minute charging session.
Home charging stations and some public stations offer Level 2 charging, which is great for charging an EV overnight but not great when you need a quick fill. It takes about nine hours to completely charge your Chevy Bolt battery on a Level 2 charger. For Level 1 charging, you plug your EV into a 120V three-prong outlet, which is extremely slow—around 4 miles of driving per hour of charging time.
To understand the difference between Level 2 and Level 3 charging, you don’t have to remember back to your high school physics class when our team can explain it. Level 1 and 2 chargers use an alternating current (AC), which your EV battery will convert to a direct current (DC). That can take some time to accomplish. But when you use a DC fast-charging station, your EV battery doesn’t have to slow down to do the conversion work. DC charging isn’t available for home chargers, since they are extremely high-voltage units.
Using a public DC fast charger will save you a lot of time when you’re on the road, but it’s also the most expensive form of EV charging. Prices tend to fall between $13.50 and $21.50. There are currently over 175,000 fast-charging stations in the United States, a number that will grow exponentially when the Tesla charging network becomes available to Chevy drivers later in 2024.
