Does the Chevy Bolt have a readout of power consumed over say a month from charging?

I live in an apartment and I can access a 120V outlet for charging. Level 1 charging is adequate for my needs. However I would have to report the kilowatt-hours used each month to the building management to pay them for it.

Therefore I am wondering if the Bolt has a function on the display I could use to keep track of the number of kilowatt-hours each month without having to buy an external metering device.

Update:

I do not want an external watt meter. am asking if the Bolt has a watt meter function built. That I could reset like a trip odometer is reset every month after I record the reading. The hardware will be there already. I just wonder if they have bothered to but this function in the software I cannot find anything about this on the Chevrolet web site and none of the search engines have been able to find anything for me.

    Never heard of a Chevy Bolt, but my bro-in-law had a Chevy Volt. You could get a meter that measures KILOWATTS, not kill-a-watts.

    if it doesn't, I guess you can get a watt meter wired into the circuit and use that to keep track of it.

    those plug in kill-a-watt meters that go for like 25 bucks probably wouldn't be good enough though, they only go up to 15 amps. your charger probably draws more than that.
