Based on my experience, a 110 works fine for a 25 mile a day commute. When visiting my parents for the holidays, our Spark charges at about 1-3 miles / hour on 8 amp... and 4-6 miles / hour on 12 amp. (this is dependent on the temperature and your recent efficiency) If you let it charge about 10 hours a day with the 12 amp option you should be able to charge a minimum of 40 miles. But be sure to get one with the CCS charging as a backup for the occasional long trips or power outages.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In reply to <a href="https://www.theev-angelist.com/bolt-ev-orders-go-live-with-gm/#comment-2304">Epicurus</a>.</p> <p>Based on my experience, a 110 works fine for a 25 mile a day commute. </p> <p>When visiting my parents for the holidays, our Spark charges at about 1-3 miles / hour on 8 amp… and 4-6 miles / hour on 12 amp.

The car does not know how much electricity was lost in the transfer. In my Volts, I have seen about a 2 kwh loss. Some of that is used to heat or cool the battery, as needed. Expect about $1.10 per 50 miles of range. My Volt uses about $30 per month.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In reply to <a href="https://www.theev-angelist.com/bolt-ev-orders-go-live-with-gm/#comment-2306">Epicurus</a>.</p> <p>The car does not know how much electricity was lost in the transfer.

Is it feasible to recharge a Bolt from a 110 outlet, or is a 220 necessary? I guess it depends on how much of the battery is depleted every night, right? If one only drives 25 miles a day, a 110 would recharge the battery in a few hours, wouldn't it? Thanks!]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Someone brought up this question.</p> <p>Is it feasible to recharge a Bolt from a 110 outlet, or is a 220 necessary?</p> <p>I guess it depends on how much of the battery is depleted every night, right?</p> <p>If one only drives 25 miles a day, a 110 would recharge the battery in a few hours, wouldn’t it?</p> <p>Thanks!</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> </channel> </rss>
