The Chevy Volt uses a SAE J1772-2009 round five-pin connector as its plug. The connection between the car and the power line can be either 120 or 240 volts and is made with Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE). Some versions of the Chevy Volt use a NEMA plug between the 240V EVSE and the power mains, typically either a 20A or 50A plug. The Chevy Volt does not offer fast charging capabilities, as it is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) and can switch to the gas-powered engine when the electric motor has a low charge.
I hope this information helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

What EV uses J1772 plug?
All electric light duty vehicles in North American can charge using this standard connector. Non-Tesla electric vehicles include a socket for a J1772 connector. Tesla vehicles include a socket for the much more capable.
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.
Can I plug my Chevy Volt into a Tesla charger?
Tesla Supercharger are fast DC chargers. The Volt only accepts AC charging. The plug won’t fit. The Volt does not support the proprietary protocol that identifies an existing Tesla owner account to the Supercharger and to allow the Supercharger to begin supplying power.
What type of plug does the Chevy Volt use?
You can use the standard three-pronged 120-volt plug (NEMA 5-15) for Level 1 charging at your home (up to 1.4 kW). The larger four-pronged plug (NEMA 14-50) is a 240-volt plug that provides Level 2 charging (7.7 kW), similar to AC charging stations you may find in public.
What kind of charger does a Chevy Volt have?
How Do You Charge the Chevy Volt? Level 1 chargers: These are the 120-volt charging cords that come with your vehicle. You can connect the three-prong plug into any standard wall socket and the other end into your car’s standard charging port. Level 1 charging provides the slowest charge.
Does a Chevy Volt need a special charger?
DC fast chargers are great for charging a fully electric vehicle, but because the Chevy Volt is a plug-in hybrid, a DC charging system’s capabilities would be superfluous. As such, the fastest way to charge a Chevy Volt is with the use of a Level 2 charger.
How do you charge a Chevy Volt at Chargepoint?
Listen for the beep. And the click that unlocks the connector. Just unplug it from the station right here. Go ahead and open your port door and plug. It in. And you’re charging double.
Can a Chevy Volt use a Level 3 charger?
All Chevrolet EVs can be charged using level 1, level 2 (the same as home chargers), and Level 3 – DC fast public charging.
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.
Does Chevy Volt use J1772?
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.
