I haven’t seen that on our ‘20.
Might be different on the Premier vs the LS or whatever our trim line is.

I need to understand the settings for charging a Bolt EV.
My son's workplace in Alaska says he cannot plugin his Bolt EV to the
dedicated 120v oiutlets provided in every parking spot because EV
charging is not authorized.
But what about battey heating? When every other employee gets to

Charging usually does take more current than a block heater does.
I was upstate NY when the outside temp hit -52F one morning in
January, 1966. So this interests me as many used block and oil pan
heaters. Some brought their batteries in at night to keep them warm.
I feel your son's frustration. I know there is active pack thermal
management and power is
Its an easy problem to solve. Fed employess can pay $6 per paypeirod for
authority to plugin to any 120v federal outlet.

That's crazy expensive, at about $1.30/kwh if you charge for 8 hours
full bore. How about negociating a price more like $30 / month, which is
about 22 days x 8 hours x $0.15 / kwh

Check your math. its a great deal. About $15 per month for 20 days of
work place charging
or about 75 cents a day. Spread over 7.5 hours a day, that is about 10 cents
an hour. To charge from an L1 charger takes 1.5 kW per hour, so the
price is about 6 cents per kWh
While there isn't a specific setting for that, you can get the same effect.
Newer bolts allow you to set a maximum SOC level, most folks set this to 80-90%
of full, when the vehicle gets to that level it stops charging.
While I haven't tried it, I believe you can adjust that all the way down to
