Yes, even at 120V 12A (the Bolt EV can be toggled between 8A and 12A on 120V EVSE units), it would take too long to charge 110 miles. That could take 20-24 hours. And that is not counting when / if you use the heater or A/C.

If you get a 240V 32A EVSE, you could recharge in about 4 hours. We are able to share one Level 2 (240V) EVSE between two electric cars.

By the way, we really love our Bolt EV - it is the best car we have ever owned; even if it didn't have an electric drivetrain.
