- Chevrolet Volt: The latest third-generation Chevy Volt models have a battery capacity of 18.4kWh as the second generation. The only difference is the charging rate which is 3.6kW for the 2nd generation and 7.2kW for the 3rd generation. The Volt doesn't have fast charging as an option. It only takes about 2.3 hours to charge a Chevy Volt with a 7.2kW charging rate. So a 1 phase charging cable with maximum of 32A is suitable for this.
- Chevrolet Bolt: The Chevrolet Bolt has a charging capacity of 7,4kW. A level 1 charger takes 65 hours to 100% charge a Chevy Bolt battery. On the other hand, a level 2 charger uses a 240V power supply and charges a Chevy Bolt taking only about 9.5 hours to fully charge a Chevy Bolt battery. A Type 1, 1 phase, 32A charging cable is suitable for this.
