General Motors has announced AeroVironment's EVSE-RS wall unit as the official home charger for the upcoming all-electric Bolt, promising a charge around five times faster than the regular wall plug.
California-based AeroVironment specializes in unmanned aircraft and electric vehicle charging systems, having worked with Nissan on the home charging station for the Leaf EV.
The EVSE-RS will be an official GM part, and buyers will be able to order it through their local Chevrolet dealership. The 32-amp Level 2 unit should be able to charge the Bolt around five times faster than the regular wall plug, which takes approximately 9 hours. The unit can also be used inside or outside, opening it up to EV owners who don't have a fully enclosed garages.

My uncle has a Volt (although not a Bolt) and fucking loves the thing. It has a "sport mode" for sprinting, although it is a compromise on battery life. And Chevys are American, but who knows where they're actually made?
And finally, I have to thank those drivers of Volts and Bolts (and Leafs, for that matter) for not getting Priuses. Goddamn, Prius drivers are not only obnoxious drivers, but obnoxious people as well. They have Apple stickers on their rear window and are the people who voted for Hillary and all for illegal immigration because they live in gated communities far-removed from it. Prius drivers make me wanna shit, and not the pleasant hard knurled kind - but the wet, messy kind.

I think without the Hillary and immigration stuff you'd be at +5 by now. They really are douchemobiles.

I fight for truth, not your amusement. Unfortunately, truth pisses a lot off.
