This analysis of the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV's DC fast charging capabilities reveals significant limitations for road trip enthusiasts. While the Bolt EV is praised as a capable daily driver, especially with home charging, its DC fast charging is notably slow, topping out at 49 kW and taking over two hours for a full 0-100% charge. Adding 200 miles of range takes a lengthy 75 minutes, making it impractical for frequent long-distance travel. The reviewer highlights that while the Bolt EV is a good value, particularly with the included home charger installation offer, its slow charging speed is a major drawback for those who rely on public DC fast chargers for extended journeys. The conservative charging curve is suspected to be a measure to protect the battery pack, but it significantly impacts the user experience on the road.
