I got my 2022 Bolt EV 2LT in September and have loved driving it for the 9,000 miles I've put on it. I usually charge at home using the 240V outlet Qmerit installed. That system works great. I decided to try DC Fast Charging for the first time. honestly, it was a frustrating experience. In about 45 minutes, I only gained 60 miles of range. The session was capped at 60 minutes, and it stopped at 80% battery capacity, which means I’d need multiple sessions on a long trip. Charging cost me $8.70, but when I compared it to gas prices (around $2.75/gallon here), it ended up being more expensive than driving my Cadillac, which gets 22 MPG!
I still love my Bolt and will continue charging at home, but I can’t see myself relying on fast chargers for road trips after this.
