And since you can travel 440 miles without recharging, why wouldn’t you take a Silverado EV on that family road trip? Through the GM Energy V2H Bundle, once installed, the bi-directional power flow can charge the Silverado EV and also take power from the Silverado into a home or other EV. Look ma, no hands!

And yet, what about recharging? That means I'd have to recharge at least once. And so that's what we call "DC fast charging." New DC fast-charging stations are being built at a fairly fast clip. The challenge for the makers there is that there are multiple DC fast charging networks out there run by different companies.

If we wanted to recharge this from 110V domestic service we would need to pull 10,800,000/110 = 96,000 amps. When GM installed chargers for the EV1 they used a 50amp 220V circuit that could pump over 6KW into the batteries.
