It’s 2-4 miles charged per hour on a 15 A circuit, so several days for a full charge.
When I first got mine charging equipment was out of stock, so I used this method. It was plenty sufficient for my daily needs.
Very slowly from a normal outlet - like over a day to fully charge the battery

A few days, even. My Bolt’s battery isn’t huge and holds about 60kwh, and a normal outlet only gives about a kilowatt (so you’d be looking at about 60 hours of charging). Granted, you don’t have to go from 0 to 100 if you only need (for example) 30% to get to a fast charger a few towns over, and you can maybe get by on even less if there’s a level 2 (220V) in between, but level 1 (normal outlet) is really meant for people who don’t drive that much and/or are often home. Not road trips.
But to a normal outlet’s credit, you can easily get about 40 miles of charging overnight on a smaller car. That’s over 14,000 miles per year, which is a little above average for most drivers
