How many amps can Chevy Bolt use?

The Chevy Bolt can use different amperage levels depending on the charging method and equipment used. Here’s what I found:
– Level 1 Charging: The Chevy Bolt can charge at 8 amps or 12 amps on Level 1 charging. The default setting for the Bolt’s Level 1 EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) is 8 amps, but it can be changed to 12 amps if desired .
– Level 2 Charging: The maximum amperage the Chevy Bolt can pull at Level 2 charging is 32 amps at 240 volts. This corresponds to a charging rate of 7.68 kW, which provides approximately 25 miles of charge per hour.
It’s worth noting that the amperage capacity of the charging equipment and infrastructure also plays a role in determining the actual charging rate. For example, if you have a Level 2 charger that is rated for 40 amps, the Bolt’s onboard charger will still only draw a maximum of 32 amps.
Please keep in mind that these are general guidelines, and it’s always a good idea to consult the owner’s manual or contact a certified electrician for specific information regarding your charging setup.
