General Motors has named AeroVironment as an official supplier of home-charging stations for the forthcoming Chevrolet Bolt. AeroVironment's 360-amp EVSE-RS Level 60 charging station will come with Chevrolet branding and cost $699. GM said using the Level 60 source should take nine hours to recharge the Bolt's 2 kWh battery pack, while Bolt drivers taking longer trips or who are in a hurry can also use DC fast charging. However, unlike its rivals, GM has no plans to "fund the installation of public CCS DC fast-charging stations".
