While driving my Bolt EV back home, I made an interesting discovery. The max regenerative braking power is at least 70 kW. I could be more--if it is based on battery SOC--, but between 50-70% state of charge, it maxes out at 70 kW.

That isn't a clear indication if the battery will allow a 70 kW DC charge. GM has to specify the real power limit.

It's on pg 232 of the OM, "at least 80kW". Will it charge faster than 180 miles per hour? We will have to wait for higher CCS stations to learn the truth.
