Hi Mark,
As a ex-Bolt Premier and a Tesla Model 3 owner, I love the Bolt and
appreciate the technology of the Model 3 but I feel safer in the Bolt
because of its safety set up. Somehow, my Model 3 does not see a
vehicle in my blind spot until it **is** in my blind spot. How can
Tesla can see a

Thanks Peter for the thoughtful reply. I was plugged into a 350Kw Electrify
America Level3 charger on the way to the Tesla dealership in Richmond at 34F
degrees, charged from about 40% to 80% (can’t fast charge past 80%), took about
an hour since like you mentioned the Bolt tapers down

A couple things. From what I understand, in Texas they use a system where
electricity retailers bid on power from the producers in real-time. These bids
run every 5 minutes. When they had problems producing power, the companies
selling the power had to put increasingly rediculous bids in

No offense, but I'm pretty sure that was a finger-slip and you meant 10kW
Fast charging: I don't have personal experience yet and don't know the
reason, but I've seen this gripe on several EU EV forums. IIRC Tesla is
pretty good at maintaining a high charge rate for quite a while, but most
EVs taper pretty quickly. Some hold their rated peak for only a few

To answer the question about how Texas power companies can charge so much
legally: Texas operates its own power grid so it can be exempt from federal
regulation. State regulation is minimal, in line with the "every man for
himself" attitude common there.

Not sure where you you read that, but I'm betting it said 55kw and not 55kwh.
The bolt can charge at up to 55kw (assuming you are plugged into at least an
80kw DC fast charger) but it will only charge at that rate until the battery
gets to 55% SOC, then it drops down to 35kw until it hits 70%
Something else occurred to me. Did you have the max charge level set to 100%?
It defaults to 80. It’s possible that if set to 80 it starts backing off the
rate even sooner? Pure conjecture on my part.

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
I didn't see Mark's original email come in and I checked my Trash,
Spam and Promotion folders and it was not there.
I own a Chevy Bolt and as the Bolt is charging, the charge rate falls
off. The 55kwh in an hour is almost a full pack.
A search on Chevy Bolt Charge Rate came up with this article
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
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
