Charge!

Friday, the electricians finished installing a new electrical box and a higher-voltage outlet in the garage. I plugged the car in after Rachel and I came home from Barnes & Noble this evening, and my app says the battery will go from empty to full by three a.m. That's great because Lydia has a Frisbee game at 7:30 in the morning. Plugged into the 110V outlet, it would have taken more time than we had to charge fully, so many days we've started off without a full battery.

How big is the Volvo's battery? Bolt has a 60+kWh battery and will easily fully charge overnight on a level 2 charger.

Internet says 18.8 kWh, so not big, but the trickle charging is very slow.

Yes, I just thought that your fast charger should have no trouble boosting it overnight, and I guess that's the case.
