So I'm new and only know as much about the volt as I could find online. I haven't been able to plug my volt in as frequently lately after moving into an apartment. It's been about two weeks since it's last been plugged in...I go in last night after turning it off for about 15 minutes (with no battery charge obviously)...I hop back in, start her up...And I have 6 miles on the battery??? After that it drove on battery power for 6 miles. How is this possible???? I'm baffled

If it can charge up this fast going downhill, why can't they make a super fast charger to fill it in a few minutes as if it's going downhill?

They can. But your electrical system at home couldn't handle it. Fires bad.
