I was looking on the Chev site to see if they were selling the Ultium Level 2 chargers and did not see them.

Has anyone seen them yet?

Is there any information on what type of 240 volt plug that charger plugs into?

Using Your Dual Level Charging Cord | Vehicle Support | Chevy

<p>The Dual Level Charging Cord lets you swap between 3 & 4 pronged plugs to allow for vehicle electric connections at a charging station or at your home.</p>

www.chevrolet.com

You can use the standard three-pronged 120-volt plug (NEMA 5-15) for Level 1 charging at your home (up to 1.4kW). The larger four-pronged plug (NEMA 14-50) is a 240-volt plug that provides Level 2 charging (7.7kW), similar to AC charging stations you may find in public.

So if I understand what you are saying the evse that they give you is a duo evse, level 1 at 120 volts and level 2 at 240 volts delivering 7.7 kw of power. That would be enough to charge your battery from empty to full in approximately 12 hours.

is that correct?

I already have 240 to my garage supplying power to two 20 amp circuit breaker, 240 volt electric heaters. If I wanted to use the 240 volt side of the evse that they give you, I would still have to get another dedicated circuit with at least a 40 amp breaker for it.

What it could save me is the $600 to $1000 dollar cost for getting a better and faster charging evse. Now pretty likely I will still buy the better one, but in all reality, this one would likely meet 95%+ of my home needs. It would charge up the vehicle in 2 to 3 hours based on my usual daily range and battery useage. On the days I drive longer, almost all of the time I would have 12 hours of time between uses.

You would need a 40 amp circuit for the 240 volt Nema 14-50 plug View attachment 260

Yep. I'm planning to just shell out for a CE to install a 50A dedicated breaker and 240V plug in my garage. Should be able to filler 'er up in about 6 - 7 hours. I installed solar on my roof first, with the idea to (ideally) charge up the Equinox during sunny Saturdays/Sundays as much as possible, and then I should be good to go for most of the week.
