Time & Cost to 80% on Electrify America in a Bolt EV (Timelapse Charge Session)

On our road trip from Boston, MA to Cleveland, OH this week, I needed to complete a full charge session to 80% on Electrify America. This was at the Fredonia, NY location a little south of Buffalo, which is still 150 miles out from Cleveland. With no other networks or dealerships covering that gap at this point, staying that long was essential... so I recorded the results, of course!

Although we didn't quite hit the full 55kW rate that the #BoltEV can accept (possibly due to colder temps at 43F/6C) this timelapse from 16-75% shows the various taper points and cost you can expect during an extended charge on #ElectrifyAmerica units.

Time Stamps for this session:
2:40 - Plugging in
3:35 - Touchscreen issues
4:00 - Timelapse of 16-75% state of charge
5:01 - Torque Pro app at 20 mins in
5:20 - Torque Pro app at 25 mins in
5:32 - Taper down #1 (at 50-55%) and cost if we were to unplug at this point
5:38 - Torque Pro app at 30 mins in
5:58 - Torque Pro app at 35 mins in
6:12 - Torque Pro app at 40 mins in
6:35 - Taper down #2 (at 65-70%) and cost if we were to unplug at this point
6:53 - Torque Pro app at 48 mins in
7:12 - Back to video/discussing session results 75-80%
8:44 - Shutting down at 80%
9:30 - Unplugging + charge session cost breakdown

The full road trip will be up soon, including various free charging sessions that offset this one expensive stop... spoiler alert: cost over 700+ miles was still less than 4 cents per mile!
