Re: [EVDL] New Volt Owner

Thanks, Peter.  I actually already found that thread on GM-Volt and put
together an adapter for 240V.  It charges at 2880W, which makes the charge
time around 5 hours.  Works great.

FWIW the EVSE that comes with the 2017 and later Volts/Bolts will also work
as a level 2 EVSE, you just have to buy/build an adapter to allow it to plug
into 240V and it becomes a 3.5-3.6kw EVSE (which is the max the Volt will
charge at)
