    2019 Chevrolet Volt gets faster charging - New system cuts total charging time in half

    Evidently Chevrolet noticed that people enjoyed recharging their Clarity PHEVs in just over 2 hours. Autoweek reports the Volt will get a new 7.2 kW charger to reduce a full recharge from 4.5 hours to 2.3 hours.

    It doesn't seem right to make people buy a higher trim level to get a decent recharging time.
