Choosing the right plug for your home

Make sure the plug type you choose matches the outlet type you have at home. While many outlets look similar, they are definitely not the same. The one called NEMA 5-15 is the regular 120V household outlet that all home appliances use, while other outlet types, such as the 14-50 or 6-50 (The two most popular EV Charging Outlets), get installed specifically for appliances or EV Chargers that require 240V. That said, there are more 240V outlet types that are commonly used, such as the NEMA 14-30, 6-30, 6-20, L14-30, and more.

Overview of the EV Chargers Compatible with Chevy Volt

The Chevrolet Volt is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) that has been a game-changer in the automotive industry since its release in 2010. With over 130,000 units sold, it stands as the best-selling PHEV of all time. The Volt masterfully combines the benefits of an electric motor with the convenience of a gas engine, making it an ideal choice for those who want to reduce their carbon footprint without sacrificing performance. This innovative vehicle allows drivers to enjoy the quiet, smooth ride of an electric motor while having the reassurance of a gas engine for longer trips.

EV Charging Times for the EV Chargers Compatible with Chevy Volt

The Chevrolet Volt can be charged using either a Level 1 (120V) or Level 2 (240V) charger. The charging time varies significantly depending on the type of charger used:

  • Level 1 (120V): Approximately 12 hours to fully charge
  • Level 2 (240V): Approximately 4.5 hours to fully charge

This flexibility allows Volt owners to choose the charging option that best fits their schedule and needs, whether they prefer the convenience of overnight charging with a Level 1 charger or the faster turnaround of a Level 2 charger.

Chevrolet Volt Connector Type and Charging Rates

The Chevrolet Volt uses a Type 1 Plug connector, which is compatible with most EV chargers available today. The maximum charge rate for the Volt is 7.4 kW (single-phase 32 amp), which translates to:

  • Level 1 (120V): Adds about 12 miles of range per hour
  • Level 2 (240V): Adds about 25 miles of range per hour

This compatibility and charging rate ensure that Volt owners can easily find suitable charging stations and enjoy efficient charging times.

Charging with a Slower Onboard Charger

The Chevrolet Volt features a slower onboard charger compared to some other electric vehicles. This means that with a 32-amp Level 2 charger, it can add about 12 miles of range per hour. While this is slower than some other EVs, it is still significantly faster than using a Level 1 charger. For many drivers, this charging speed is sufficient for daily use, especially when charging overnight or during extended periods at home or work.

Best Charging Locations for a Chevrolet Volt

The Chevrolet Volt can be conveniently charged at various locations, including:

  • Home: Charging at home is both convenient and cost-effective, especially with a Level 2 charger. It allows for overnight charging, ensuring the vehicle is ready to go each morning.
  • Work: Many employers now offer free or low-cost charging options at work, making it an excellent choice for commuters who can charge their vehicles during the day.

When choosing a charging location, consider the type of charger available, the cost of charging, and the convenience of the location to ensure the best experience for your Chevrolet Volt.

The table below shows charge times with different EV plug outlet types for the Chevrolet Volt. We summarize both level 1 and level 2 EV chargers for the Volt.

The onboard charger converts AC power from standard wall outlets into the DC power needed for the battery, with the efficiency of this process varying between plug-in hybrids and full-electric vehicles.

Chevrolet Volt connector type and charging rates

The Chevrolet Volt (all version and models) can be charged with a Type 1 SAE J1772 charger connector at home, work, or at a public charging point. There is a maximum charge acceptance rate, this is how quickly the car’s battery can accept the alternating current (AC) charge rate, which is 240 volts at 3.3 kilowatts per hour. In the table above, this is why the EV charge time does not decrease since there is a maximum hourly charging acceptance rate.

Many public charging stations feature Level 2 chargers that include a universal connector, allowing users to add a significant amount of driving range per hour of charging.

Best charging locations and EV chargers for a Chevrolet Volt EV Chargers Compatible with Chevy Volt

Most EV owners prefer the convenience, comfort, and speed of home EV charging. Many public charging stations can be found at convenient locations such as retail stores, restaurants, and office spaces, enhancing the overall convenience of owning an electric vehicle. Plug-in hybrids, even though they have smaller EV batteries, have less commercial charging options. This is because direct current (DC) commercial chargers aka level 3 or fast EV charging does not work with plug-in hybrid vehicles due to limitations in battery technology. As level 2 commercial chargers get busier or are decommissioned, the need for home installed charged such as a level 1 NEMA 5-15 or level 2 EV charger will become more critical.
