Hello Mark, Some Chevy dealers have installed Level 3 charging and they allow Chevy EV owners to connect their Bolts to their system for free. I don't know if this is still the case. I was pumping 20 kwhr into a pack but it slowed up so a complete top off from almost empty takes about 4 hours. I visited one dealer in particular and the service tech saw the charger was ICE'd and he ran on it, got the key and moved the offending vehicle without asking!!
I would also opt for the Premium level as this provides a lot of safety features that can save you from dings. The rear view video in the rear view mirror allows for a sweeping uncluttered view from a camera mounted in the trunk door. Anti-collision warnings when pulling out of a parking spot work really well both for cars and pedestians. There are also Blind Spot indicator lights that light up in the corners of the side mirrors. While not great at the time but when lit, you don't want to change lanes. When unlit, you need to verify. The seats tend to be narrow but I found adding some padding to the seat back really helps. The heated seats and steering wheel save on electrons versus heating the cabin. I would love to see the Chevy safety philosophy merged into the Teslas. Chevy warns and lets you make up your mind while Tesla seems to say: "Technology knows best." Teslas do have some amazing technologies along with their quirks.
