The Chevy Bolt comes standard with a 120-volt portable charger cord, which can be plugged into any 120-volt, three-prong outlet. Most Bradenton Bolt owners find that it’s most convenient to charge this way overnight, as you can earn about 48 miles of range from a 12-hour charge. If this will be your primary charging method, it’s recommended that you charge your Bolt every day so you don’t risk running out of range while driving.

Cox Chevrolet can order the charger to our dealership in Bradenton, where you can pick it up yourself or elect to have it installed by a technician. This is the most convenient charging option, as you can get 40-50 miles of range in about two hours, or 100 miles of range in about 4.5 hours. Charging overnight for 9.5 hours will get you up to a full 259 miles of range, so you’ll be fully prepared to commute to work, grab lunch in Palmetto, and go anywhere else you please in-between!
Level 3 DC Fast Charging is only available at public stations. It provides up to 100 miles of range per 30 minutes of charging.
