isn't supposed to be super high voltage to work ? or maybe this would be super slow ?

Most EVs can charge off kf a regular socket using a dedicated cable.
It can take days to charge.

Can confirm. Mine will take about 3 days to charge from very low to full on a regular wall outlet. Still worth it sometimes though, like when I'm visiting family or camping or something. If I'm gonna spend the day somewhere (like 6+ hours, let's say) it might be worth it.

that's a first-gen chevy volt from 2012-2013. it can't fast-charge at all, it's limited to line voltage only. a full charge takes five hours, give or take. thankfully it's a hybrid.

I changed off a 12v 20amp outlet for over a year at my house till the charger was installed. It would take 12 hours to charge from empty to full but never had that happen except going on trips, then I would use the DC charging stations.
