You neglected to say that the level 1 can be adjusted from 8 amps to 12 amps. It's done on your car screen.. Level 2 plug can be installed for $400 if they can stay close to breaker box. Clipper Creek has the best level 2 charger cable on Anazon. $550

I have the 2023 bolt. I am loving it. didn't think I would like it so much.

I just bought a 2022 Bolt from a Chevy dealer but no mention of $$ to help with the installation of the 240 outlet or charging station? How did you get the $1, 000?

Hey, if you don't drive long distances, a level 1 charger (110 outlet) is just fine. Also, if you have an outlet at work (like my son), use that while at work. Lithium batteries may wear out faster at a higher charge rate. Also, charging to more than 85% can wear them out faster.

Great video. I'd love to see more of the Bolt

I like the energy option that let you pump up the Amp from 8 to 12

[JoshuaChandra]

I was hoping this video would include any mention about the Target Charge Level feature; any guidance on keeping the max charge no higher than 80% would be much appreciated.

Where did you get that extension chord that you plugged your car into the wall with? I have a rental bolt with no chord.

I'm thinking of buying one . But I wonder if you charge with the level 1 charger . It may increase your electric bill ? I don't know though and I don't believe what Chevy says lol. Or any car manufacturer says about their mileage.

[OnlyInLasVegas]

Amazon sells level 2 chargers cheaper than $600 by far.

I thought the evse that comes with the 2022 Chevy Bolt comes with interchangeable plugs to allow for either 120v or 240v connections?

[samusaran]

The granny cable isn't meant for every day use.

[goblue]

What sucks is I don't live in a house I'm in an apartment there are chargers close by but this might be tricky I keep going back and forth

[XBlade-emno]

How long it can charge the car how many minutes or hours

[SchnuffiJames]

I wonder how that works in Europe where the standard home plug is already 240v.

John, Welcome to owning an Electric Car.You make a common error that many newbies make. So I wanted to help educate you a little better. In your video you show the J1772 plug and said "This is the Charger". It is not the charger...You could say it is the charging cable or charging equipment or call it by it's official name the EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment). The charger is actually built into the car for 120VAC or 240VAC. The EVSE is a dedicated cable that allows you to connect the vehicle's charger to a 120V outlet. The EVSE has a relay that won't allow current to flow until the EVSE communicates with the vehicle and determines that you have properly connected it. Off topic but just a little bit more information. When you visit a DC fast charge station then the Charger is external. It is not in the car. The DC charger bypasses the car's internal AC charger, and charging is then handled by the DC Fast charge station.

How much more you are paying on home electric bill?...

[joeguerra]

I think I'd carry a 2000 watt gas inverter in the trunk. For emergencies.

Pro tip: Park your $40, 000 car in the garage and leave your junk outside to rust. You're doing it the other way around.
