Chevrolet has established itself as a major contender in the expanding electric vehicle market. The company’s commitment to a carbon-neutral future by 2040 indicates that its EV strategy is at the forefront of its operational direction.
With a diverse lineup that includes everything from budget-friendly hatchbacks such as the Chevy Bolt EV and Chevy Bolt EUV to SUVs, high-performance sports cars, and full-size trucks like the Chevy Silverado, Chevrolet appeals to a wide range of consumers.
Their commitment to the Ultium platform for next-generation EVs offers improvements in efficiency, performance, and scalability. Alongside their support for rapid DC fast charging, these advancements position Chevrolet as a leading force in the shift toward an all-electric future. Due to the differentiation within their EV fleet, there are different Chevrolet charger options that cater to specific models. Below, we discuss the pros and cons of some charging solutions and provide a recommended charging solution for each available Chevy model.

As indicated above, the fastest Chevrolet home charger option for the Chevrolet EV fleet is the Level 2 NEMA 14-50 EV charger.
The Chevrolet EV fleet supports the Type 1 J1772 charger connector for Level 1 (120V) and Level 2 (240V) charging, standardizing this connector across its line-up, providing compatibility with EV charging infrastructure throughout North America.
The maximum alternating current (AC) of the Chevy fleet differs depending on the model, both Chevy Bolt EV and EUV have a 7.7kW AC, whereas the bigger Chevy Silverado allows an 11kW AC. The AC is derived from the internal on-board software therefore the Chevy EV AC will not accept charging power above this rate.
However, the fully electric Chevrolet fleet is compatible with DC commercial charging which transforms the charging capability into direct current, which significantly reduces the required charge time. The Chevy Bolts accept a DC of 55kW which allows the EV to achieve 80% of charge in
1 hour. Even more impressively, the Chevy Silverado accepts a DC of 350kW, therefore can charge from 0% – 80% in 30 minutes. Chevrolet EV models are not compatible with NACs charger connectors which is the Tesla supercharger charger types.
Most Chevrolet EV owners choose to charge their vehicles at home due to the convenience of Chevrolet home charger options, the speed of charging, and lower overnight electricity rates (10¢/kWh). For example:
However, the Chevy Silverado’s Level 2 charging capability is restricted due to its large battery size and 9.6kW AC, meaning it would take 21 hours to fully charge. It is recommended to charge between 20%-80% to protect battery longevity, making overnight top-ups a preferred solution over expensive DC charging.
The most common charger connector found at public charging facilities, strip malls, and overnight stay locations is the NEMA 14-50 receptacle, making it the recommended and most popular charger.
The cost of charging any Chevrolet EV model depends on factors such as location (residential or commercial), time of day, charging power, and U.S. State. Below are estimated costs based on the following assumptions:
| Place |
|---|
| Home (empty to full) |
| Commercial Chargers |
| Average Cost |
|---|
| Chevy Bolt EV – $13.50 |
| Chevy Bolt EUV – $13.00 |
| Chevy Silverado – $40.00 |
| Chevy Bolt EV – $33.00 |
| Chevy Bolt EUV – $32.50 |
| Cost per Mile |
|---|
| $0.06¢ / mile |
| $0.06¢ / mile |
| $0.10¢ / mile |
| $0.13¢ / mile |
| $0.14¢ / mile |
Our high power level 2 EV chargers will achieve a full EV charge in around 10 hours. Alternatively, we have a complete range of Chevrolet EV chargers with all different EV plug types.
