50 is great on the old SparkEV as it has a small but well over-provisioned battery that charges at full rate until nearly done (where most taper off significantly), giving it a C3 rate meaning 2O minutes to full. Not so much for the Bolt.
Interesting to see the torque figures. The SparkEV had way too much torque (the tires and steering can’t handle so much oomph!) but the new Bolt comes with a chain and anchor.

This is one of the things I hated about my Bolt, aside from the seats and the charging. Most everything else I liked a lot. You could even get extra Regen by throwing the car in reverse while descending down a mountain.
Well, it’s an LFP battery which means you can charge it to 100% every day if you want and it won’t degrade quickly like the previous generation’s battery would if you did that. I charge mine to 70% and it shows about 170mi of range so this would be an improvement in that way.
Not much range improvement, if any.
Does it need more range?
Still well over 200miles.
And there are new chargers being built every day.

Triple the charge rate though. I think the OG Bolt was limited to 50kW
Yes it is 50 on the original Bolt.

Excellent point.
