FWIW On the Bolt fast charging slows quite a bit after 55%, but it never drops
to level-2 rate (7.2kw on the Bolt).
Based on the reports of others, and my limited fast charging experience,
assuming the charger can support 150Amps, charge rates on the Bolt are:
SOC AmpsKw
0-55%150

Plus, if you are using a DC fast charger, the speed of charging drops
significantly after you reach 80% charged (sometimes down to the speed

So if you can make it to the next charger with only an 80% charge, it's
faster

faster to drive off on the next leg of your trip as soon
Only charging to 80% is supposed to significantly increase battery life.
Not only that, but the battery really doesn't like being fully charged in hot
weather.

WOW! That just seems foreign to my mind. I just returned from a trip and I
never got below 35kW charging the whole trip and it only got that low once when
I was in a resturant eating and it charged to 90%.
That said I heard you can get really good deals on Bolts if you go to the right
dealers.
The maps update in iOS 14 will have chargers.
The GA release should be within a few months.

Congrats! It’s a great car and fun to drive.
I think, in general, fast chargers take credit card and the regular ones are
generally on a network. You’ll end up joining several depending on where you
travel. I don’t think ChargePoint has a fee- but you do have to preload your
account.
