No, the Chevy Volt does not have fast charging as an option. Fast charging is generally for long trips, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) like the Volt have a gas engine available for those situations. The Volt is compatible with Level 2 chargers, which can add about 12 miles of range per hour of charging. It is important to note that the Chevy Volt is not compatible with DC fast chargers, as it is a plug-in hybrid and does not require the capabilities of a DC charging system.

What volt for fast charging?
If you see a cable that puts out power at 5V, 9V, 12V or even 2000mA, this is a sure sign that it’s a fast charger. On the other hand, anything below 1000mAh is considered a slow charger. So look for 5V-2A or 5V-2000mA.
