We understand why the Bolt didn't have faster charging when it originally launched, that's because there weren't any DC fast charge stations available that could deliver more than 50 kW. Chevy did so much right with the Bolt, it's unfortunate they didn't bump up the DC fast charge rate to 75 kW to 100 kW with the larger battery in 2020. We really like the Bolt EV, but the charging rate really hurts the vehicle's ability to travel long distances without too much inconvenience. We were told that, for the first 30 minutes, the 2020 Bolt EV can charge at up to 150% faster in cold temperatures than the pre-2020 models were capable of. The Bolt can now accept full power for a longer period of time, especially under challenging, temperatures when the battery pack is cold. What they did was improve the charging profile. However, Chevrolet didn't increase the top charge rate, which stands at 55 kW. I attended the 2020 Bolt EV media drive and Chevrolet informed us that the 2020 Bolt could charge faster on a DC fast charger under different ambient temperatures than previous models could. ⠀ Updated 2020 Chevrolet Bolt Compared To The Hyundai Kona Electric
