Just to fact check on the $17000 electric bill. It really wasn’t hyped up. News
account I read says:
Last month, his bill for all three was $660. So far, for this month’s
electricity, he owes more than $17,000.
That’s 25x , ok so maybe he uses more in the cold , but note the bill is ‘so

Hi Mark,
As a ex-Bolt Premier and a Tesla Model 3 owner, I love the Bolt and
appreciate the technology of the Model 3 but I feel safer in the Bolt
because of its safety set up. Somehow, my Model 3 does not see a

Minimum resting voltage on the Bolt's pack is around 320V and that jumps up
quite a bit when you hit it with 150 amps of charging current. As long as the

50kw and 55kw (assuming you're using a sufficiently powerful ch

electricity retailers bid on power from the producers in real-time. These bids

No offense, but I'm pretty sure that was a finger-slip and you meant 10kW
Fast charging: I don't have personal experience yet and don't know the
reason, but I've seen this gripe on several EU EV forums. IIRC Tesla is
pretty good at maintaining a high charge rate for quite a while, but most
EVs taper pretty quickly. Some hold their rated peak for only a few
minutes.
Keep in mind the 350kW rating of the Electrify America chargers is likely
only with a ~800V system.
Our vans max out at 200kW on these stations, so it's likely that is the
upper limit for a ~400v system. However, it appears the bolt is limited
to around 150A or so from CCS. The means if the pac
To answer the question about how Texas power companies can charge so much
legally: Texas operates its own power grid so it can be exempt from federal
regulation. State regulation is minimal, in line with the "every man for
himself" attitude common there.

Not sure where you you read that, but I'm betting it said 55kw and not 55kwh.
The bolt can charge at up to 55kw (assuming you are plugged into at least an
80kw DC fast charger) but it will only charge at that rate until the battery
gets to 55% SOC, then it drops down to 35kw until it hits 70% SO

I didn't see Mark's original email come in and I checked my Trash,
Spam and Promotion folders and it was not there.
I own a Chevy Bolt and as the Bolt is charging, the charge rate falls
off. The 55kwh in an hour is almost a full pack.
A search on Chevy Bolt Charge Rate came up with this article
I’ve had variable charge times with our bolt as well. Fast charging also can be
extremely expensive . I don’t mind paying a surcharge for speed, but at times
it’s been way too high.
On Texas , the key word in you paragraph is ‘regulated’. The utilities there
are essentially unregulated. People
