How long does it take to charge the battery on a Chevy Bolt?

I'm looking into new electric cars and the Chevy Bolt caught my eye. However, I'm worried about its charging power. How long does it take to recharge one?

The new Chevy Bolt is a nice and
affordable electric car
that’s a great entry-level model.
The type of charger used will determine how long it takes for a Chevy Bolt to charge. For example, using a Level 1 Charger gets 4 miles for every hour charged. Since the Chevy Bolt has a 238 mileage range, it could take more than a day to charge. A Level 2 Charger will fully charge your vehicle in about 9.5 hours.
If you’re worried about running out of juice, you can always add
towing and labor coverage
to your car insurance policy. This provides towing if you need it, as well other coverage for flat tires, dead batteries, and more.
If you don’t have this type of policy on your car insurance, you can always add it. Use the
