Mark, you may want to have the cells checked.
I have a 2011 leaf. When it was new, it would get an 20% to 80% L3
charge in about 20 minutes. That would be roughly 15kWh, translating to
about a 45kw charge rate. (check my math, the battery is 24kWh.)
I rarely use L3 charging, but I did last year and the ESVE reported a
rate of 10kWh. (It actually started at about 25kWh but dropped to 10
over several minutes.) And that was with the battery at about 20% SOC.
My guess is that some sensors (temp ? over voltage ?) were reporting
limits to the car's charging software. After 8 or 9 years, the cells are
pretty beat up, so it doesn't surprise me too much. But you have a
relatively new car.

Subject: [EVDL] Chevy Bolt Level3 fast charging time
Hi folks
When I fast charge on the Road to 80% with my Bolt EV it takes about an hour to
put back 25KWH. The manual says it should be 55kwh in an hour. Does anyone
know why it’s not charging at the 55KW rate? Is there an aftermarket kit to
boost the KW acceptance rate? Electrify America fast CCS chargers operate to
350KW. Also I paid 43c per kWh at Sheetz near Charlottesville Va (home is
12c). I assume they split the take between Sheetz and Electrify America (VW)?
I saw on the news that folks in Texas are paying $100s per KWH and utilities
cleaning out checking accounts $10k-$16k since direct link to accounts. How is
this even possible to charge that much per KWh? Aren’t utilities regulated for
a max per kWh they can charge? I have a direct link to my checking account
with my utility to pay the monthly $31 service fee (net zero solar customer )
but maybe I should discontinue my checking account number with them and go back
to monthly billing/paper checks so they couldn’t clean out my checking account?
Have a renewable energy day
