I’ve had variable charge times with our bolt as well. Fast charging also can be extremely expensive . I don’t mind paying a surcharge for speed, but at times it’s been way too high.
On Texas , the key word in you paragraph is ‘regulated’. The utilities there are essentially unregulated. People sign up for cheap (in good times), variable rates that, evidently, have no maximum. Be interesting to see how the political winds blow there over the next year. -Steve > On Feb 23, 2021, at 8:05 AM, Mark Hanson via EV <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi folks > When I fast charge on the Road to 80% with my Bolt EV it takes about an hour > to put back 25KWH.
