A simple search and you would have found a map with easy directions to all the chargers and no I don’t have one ,but facts are facts

Do your nieces & nephews drive Teslas? I wish them good luck. There is a difference between Teslas & Chevy Bolts. Additionally Vermont has steep inclines & cold weather, both of which affect EVs. I found independent complaints on Reddit about the Chevy Bolt range with others claiming 160 mile range. I also found the Chevy Bolt uses a type 2 charger & from Chargepoint, this: 'These locations typically have Level 2 stations that add about 25 miles of Range Per Hour' - which is incredibly damaging. 25 miles for an hour of charging, is that less than a half mile per minute? (This was specific to the Bolt & to Level 2 public chargers). It seems to me that the only use for a Bolt would be to charge it at home (overnight for about 10 hours) & then go pretty much nowhere. Hopefully work, shopping & doctors are all close by. It appears that there is an optional fast charger for the Bolt, but of course that option costs more money. So yes, all in all, I believe the OP was perfectly miserable.
