 The Volt uses a plug specification published in 2009, SAE J1772-2009, that is considered a standard for electric cars in North America. Depending on in-car settings a full charge will take approximately 10 hours (12A setting) to as much as 14 hours (8A setting) from a standard North American 120 V, 15 A outlet and about 4 hours from a 240 VAC source and suitable 240V EVSE. The Volt comes with a 20 ft (6.1 m) charging cord suitable for the standard household power outlet in its country of sale. If plugged in, recharging can be controlled remotely through a smartphone application.
