Will the outlet need to be totally IN a garage, or simply "out of the weather". I have an enclosed 220 outlet that's totally enclosed against the weather (for a hot tub), but slightly outside our garage.

- All of our EVSE equipment is made to withstand all weather conditions.

Top GM battery scientist revealed that battery won't last long, why is that?
2:03
Gery Kissel
- Not sure who you are referring to. Volt battery life is 10 years or 150,000 miles as a vehicle with an afterlife for other uses.

Under what circumstances would GM allow access to the Volt's DC power system for an external charger able to supply (for example) 240V @ 48 amps? A 45 minute recharge could jump-start (sorry) public charging initiatives.

Gery Kissel
- The current Volt does not accomodate offboard DC charging.

[Comment From Mark Bartosik ]
Does the unit that plugs into the receptacle communicate with the charger in the Volt (e.g. to indicate max current draw). And if so, is this using an industry standard protocol?
2:07
Gery Kissel
- Yes, the EVSE does communicate with the Volt and will indicate max curent draw among information. It is J1772 compliant.

I'm assuming the 220v charger will be an additional cost over the price of the car.
