Chevrolet has just announced the price for the Chevy Volt home charging kit : $490. That’s the price “before installation,” mind you. How much are you looking at with installation?

With installation you’re looking at $1,475. (That price may vary, you should know, depending on various permutations.)

The 240V kit can charge your Volt’s battery in around four hours. That doesn’t seem too bad, right?
