Potential Bolt Owner with questions

A L2 EVSE replaces what your Bolt would come stock with. Some are hardwired, some are still portable. It really depends on what your electrical panel can handle and breakers are in place. I have a Clipper Creek HCS-50 which can charge at a max 40A. That's a bit faster than the highest amount the onboard Bolt charger can take. But no worries because the Bolt will only ask for what it was designed for. If there are chargers at the Metro Station or office those are hardwired there. You don't use the L1 charger you would get with the car. Personally I'd only carry it for an extreme emergency... It's too darn slow. It can only charge about 4 miles an hour, while my ClipperCreek L2 can charge 25 miles an hour.

I'll let others expand and answer your other questions.
