I just installed a Juicebox Pro 40 to charge my 2017 Volt but I'm noticing I'm only seeing around 2.9 kW of power rather than something close to the 3.6 kW max.

I'm typically seeing around 12A at 240V while charging. I have my max allowed set at 40A for the Juicebox.

Has anyone experienced issues with a Juicebox charging a gen2 Volt?

Thanks!

Actually the on-board charger supports 3,300 watts divided by 240 volts = 13.75 amps....in a perfect world...

That's only applicable to the Gen I Volt.

Gen II Volt supports up to 16A.

I have net metered solar at my house with fairly high line Voltage (and not far from my local utility transfer station). I have observed my Gen II Volt charging as high as 248V @ 16A (3.97KW).
