2021-07-30 Thread Peter VanDerWal via EV
Just looking into this and it turns out if the Bolt is on a 120V EVSE, the battery warmer only runs at 25%. On the plus side this will prevent running down your battery in cold weather, on the other hand it also means that in REALLY cold weather it probably won't be able to keep the battery

The 12 Amp limit is in the car, so I think it probably sets the limit with any 120V EVSE (I'm just guessing). You can select either 8 amp (default) or set the car to charge at 12 Amps, although it likes to switch back to 8 amps. >From what I've read online, the Bolt (and later model Volt) EVSE

What is the 120v EVSE like that comes with the Bolt? Does it allow 16 amp operation on a 20 amp outlet? Is that setting made in the EVSE or in the car. It would seem to me to be an EVSE function because the EVSE does not know what it is plugged into and you wouldnt want an EV to ask for 16 amps

My guess is that it would work fine at 120 volt charging (but your charging speed may be slow, as alot of the power would be going to condition the battery.) Generally, the only thing in the car that sees the 120v is the battery charger (taking the 120 volts up to the 3-4 hundred volts the

Thanks! My biggest concern is whether battery management works on 120v charging. My son who is looking at an EV in Alaska will be in rentals with only access to 120v and without owning the outlet might not be able to switch to 240v. So, does BMS work on 120v? What about "remote start"
