The Chevy Bolt EV accepts the universal connector on every standard Level 2 charging station. It can be charged using either a J1227 connector for Level 1 and Level 2 charging or a CCS Combo connector for DC fast charging. The J1227 connector is the standard 5-pin plug used to charge electric vehicles and allows the Bolt to plug in at public Level 2 stations, while the CCS Combo connector enables the Bolt to receive a charging boost from DC fast chargers.

Is Chevy Bolt a J1772 EV?
The Bolt EUV can charge through the SAE J1772 connector using electric vehicle supply equipment connected to an AC power supply. A portable AC EVSE (made by Webasto) is included that can operate at Level 1 (8 or 12 amps) using the NEMA 5-15 dongle and Level 2 (32 amps) using the NEMA 14-50 dongle.
What is NEMA 14 50 plug?
The NEMA 14-50 plug is a 240-volt plug with 50 amps of maximum amperage, which is needed for a 40-amp home EV charging station to be safely used. This plug type is commonly found in RV parks and mobile homes. With the right Level 2 EV charger, electric vehicles can be fully-charged in under 6 hours.
Can I plug a CCS into J1772?
This adapter is only required in countries where Tesla vehicles have the proprietary Tesla plug. Because the J1772 plug does not have the DC pins, the adapter does not have the DC pins, and therefore this adapter cannot be used with a CCS charging station.
Can you plug a J1772 into a CCS port?
This adapter is only required in countries where Tesla vehicles have the proprietary Tesla plug. Because the J1772 plug does not have the DC pins, the adapter does not have the DC pins, and therefore this adapter cannot be used with a CCS charging station.
What type of connector does Chevy Bolt have?
SAE Combined Charging Connector
Like the Chevy Spark EV and Volt, the Bolt uses the SAE Combined Charging Connector (CCS) for Level 3 DC fast charge.
What type of CCS does the Chevy Bolt have?
All models of Bolt support standard SAE J1772 EV charging plugs, at Level 1 or Level 2 (AC). A factory option supports Level 3 (rapid DC) charging with the CCS1 connector. For model year 2021, the upper trim level (“Premier”) was equipped with the CCS1 connector as standard.
Is J1772 same as CCS?
Combined Charging System
The CCS connector uses the SAE J1772 charging inlet and adds two more pins below. It “combines” the SAE J1772 connector with the high speed charging pins, which is how it got its name.
Can a Chevy Bolt use a J1772 charger?
Yes, the Chevy Volt charges from the same standard J1772 connector as the Nissan Leaf. Any charger that works on one should work just as well on the other.
Can I charge J1772 with CCS?
This means most CCS vehicles can’t plug directly into J1772 charging stations without an adapter. A CCS to J1772 adapter allows a CCS-equipped EV to charge on widely available J1772 AC charging stations. This guide provides everything you need to know about CCS to J1772 adapters.
Is the Chevy Bolt a PHEV?
The key difference is that the discontinued Chevy Volt is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), whereas the Chevy Bolt is a battery-powered electric vehicle (BEV).
