The Chevy Bolt EV is EPA rated for 238 miles per charge, and began production in late 2016. The 2017-2019 Bolt EV can accept up to 7.7 kW while charging its 60 kWh battery on a Level 2 charging station. For the 2020 model year, the Bolt saw its battery increase to 66 kWh due to revised chemistry, increasing its EPA rating to 259 miles. A major redesign was made for 2023 with a more sleek exterior and refined interior. Not to leave out the Bolt’s electrical system, the Level 2 charging rate was increased to 11.5 kW, making the electric hatchback one of the most appealing compact EVs in its class. 2023 also brought a new bodystyle: the Bolt EUV, a compact electric crossover SUV. With the larger 66 kWh battery, it’s important to have a powerful Level 2 Chevy Bolt charging station to replenish the battery pack.
The Chevy Bolt EV has a charge port located on the front left fender, just ahead of the driver’s door, just like other Chevrolet EVs.
Charging the Bolt EV on the 120V Level 1 charger that come with the car can take up to two full days. Therefore, most Bolt EV owners will definitely want to get a Level 2 240v Bolt charging station for daily recharging. Both the JuiceBox® 32 and JuiceBox 48 would be perfect for the Bolt EV, as either can charge the Bolt EV at its maximum charge rate.
