Hi All,

I have a 2019 Volt LT that currently has a 3.6kwh charging module. I am wondering if upgrading to 7.2kwh will not only increase the charging amperage from 16A to 32A but will it ALSO double up the energy regeneration when driving?

I am shopping for a Level 2 charging unit and been looking at many different options out there. Before I decide on one, I am going to price out the charging module upgrade to see if it's worth it. As far as I know, I can say it's definitely worth it as far as charging go. But if it doesn't increase the regeneration while driving, I don't think it would make it worth the cost.

Thanks,
Brad

Ah that makes sense thank you obermd....... so I am curious, what is the MAX kwh that comes from regeneration back to the battery? I mean, I see -25 to -35 when actively braking. How much of that is actually restored to battery? 3.6kw in a given hour and obviously we don't brake for a whole hour so instant regeneration only restores very little if any energy back, correct?
