My First EV — Part 3, Home Charging
If you are the average American, you drive 41 miles a day to work . If all you have is a regular, 120V outlet, your Bolt will charge about 4.5 miles/hour. If you do not have a charging station at work, it will take you about nine hours to fully charge for the next day. Money-wise, you will be much better off than buying gas, but the long time might be a little too long for comfort. Level 2 charging is a must for many people.
The best location for the power outlet is as close as possible to the main panel. In my case, that was about 2 feet away, which made the whole process very straightforward. The installer moved a breaker to a spare location and installed a new 50A 2-phase breaker on the bottom of the rack.As everybody knows, the line voltage in the US is 120V, but if you get two circuits of 120V, each has 120V to neutral, but they are shifted 180 to each other. The voltage between the two phases is 240V.
