Perhaps you can read the post I wrote about how the set points are calculated (I use the analogy of a barrel):

From my post you will understand that the set points will change depending on conditions and drivers. The numbers you presented would make no sense at all in most situations. You would ideally like to drive into your charging station at the lowest point of charge. Correct? Otherwise, you would be using gasoline where the grid electricity is more desirable.
Nobody here would be able to give you exact numbers, not even the Volt engineers, because those numbers will change after the final design is on the road and all of the software and testing has been completed. Additionally, the set points will change for different conditions including the aging of the battery pack. Finally, I think they will be using settings that are initially conservative in order to achieve 40 miles of capability at the end of the lifecycle of the battery. Many conditions, many changes. Sorry there is no easy answer.
