So we have a Bolt in the office this week. I plug it in - I look up the charge time on a regular household outlet - 6.5 km per hour of charge. Apparently it has a 383 km range... that would take 60 hours to charge without an L2. 60 HOURS!
Naturally, I lost my brain at how lame that is, and Michael Bettencourt, Managing Editor and EV enthusiast explained that it's because we have 110v not 220v delivery.
This is also why kettles are uncommon here apparently.
So seriously, what's with that?!
Why did North America choose the world's poxiest power delivery rate?
