I've gathered that 120 volt charging gives you 8 miles per hour of charge. If you plug in when you get home from work and unplug the next morning 12 to 14 hours of charge should get you 100 to 120 MILES. That will vary with the weather and how you use heat and air conditioning, particularaly if heat is resistive instead of heat pump.
50 km would be the max range in real world. I find that super frustrating in the Volt with a bit better range after having a full ev. Having a 400k electric range covers almost everything and there are so many chargers now.
Do a 15 amp level 2 if you drive at all it will need a full charge daily. We have a similar set up for the Volt.
That’s about what my Gen 1 Volt got….50km plus or minus.
Not sure I would get a volt now they are getting old and parts are becoming an issue. They are usually cheap which is why ours is going to get driven until it dies. At 200000 now I usually get rid of vehicles around 400000. The equinox ev is great though and really makes me want another full ev.
I suspect the Volt sees a lot of almost empty and almost full too. Those are the worst conditions for the battery. Most BEV's can quite comfortably hang out between 20% and 80% for almost all of their charge cycles.Did some checking to see how the battery in the Volt was doing 17 percent capacity loss over 2500 charge cycles. Not bad at imho. A full ev won't see this many charge cycles and should be even better.

Yes empty to full almost every time there is a buffer but a big battery doesn't see those extremes often.
Last I checked neither 0% or 100% on the Volt are actually 0% or 100% as there’s a 10-15% buffer.
Normally you charge a phev to 100 every time and they have a built in buffer.
