How Long Does It Take to Charge a Chevrolet Bolt?

The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt (65 kWh usable) charges from 10% to 80% in about 4 h 24 min on a 48 A Level 2 home charger and roughly 25 minutes at a DC fast charger. Full times for every charger type below.

DC fast charging (up to 150 kW)manufacturer estimate; power tapers past 80%~25 minnot recommended–

AC times include charging losses (~10% on Level 2, ~20% on Level 1). Cold weather, preconditioning, and the battery's state can stretch these figures. Charging past 80% is slow on DC and gentler on the battery when done on AC at home.

Home chargers that fit the Chevrolet Bolt

The Chevrolet Bolt has a NACS charge port, so both of these plug straight in. Its 11.5 kW onboard charger can take about 48 A, which needs a hardwired 48 A unit on a 60 A circuit; a plug-in 14-50 setup tops out at 40 A (9.6 kW). Tesla's Universal Wall Connector also charges J1772 cars from its built-in adapter, which matters if an older EV shares the garage.
