First time I've had to charge the Chevy Bolt EV away from work in probably a year. My trip to Swansea SC drained the battery.

@tagomago LOL.

@alysonsee The charging duration depends on the charger type. The one I used today was a DC quick charger (level 3). To go from 0 to full will take more than hour. The Bolt EV has a capacity of 238 miles.
I normally use a level 2 charger at work. It can take 6 hours to to from 0 to full. Which is fine because I'm at work at least 10 hours. I live in an apartment so that is why I charge at work.
If you are taking a trip of more than 230 miles you'll need to plan where DC quick charging stations are. You can grab something to eat while you wait.
I haven't purchased any gasoline in over 2 years. I love my Bolt EV. 🔌

@fitheach Thanks!

@kinetix All good points. I hadn't thought about the time I save avoiding the gas pump. 👍 Electric vehicles are still pretty rare in the South Carolina lowcountry. There aren't many public charging stations either. I'm glad my employer has a charging station. I just charge while I work.

@alysonsee Makes sense. Hopefully, one day, more EV charging infrastructure and advancements in battery tech will make range anxiety a thing of the past. @kinetix
