How many amps can a Chevy Bolt handle?

The Amp Handling Capacity of a Chevy Bolt
The Chevy Bolt has a maximum amp handling capacity of 32 amps when charging at Level 2. This information is confirmed in the Chevy Bolt Owner’s Manual, which states that the Bolt will charge at 32 amps at 240 volts, resulting in a charging rate of 7.68 kW and providing approximately 25 miles of charge per hour.
It’s important to note that the Bolt’s battery management system (BMS) will limit the current and slow down the charging rate as the battery gets closer to being fully charged. Additionally, charging the Bolt at the maximum rate every day may not be the best practice for battery health. It is recommended to use the “hill top reserve” setting unless you need a full charge every day.
While some users have reported using higher amp charging stations with the Bolt, it will only draw up to 32 amps. Therefore, there is no harm in plugging the Bolt into a charger that can provide more power or amps than the Bolt can handle, as the J-1772 standard allows for negotiation between the car and the charger.
Please keep in mind that the information provided is based on the available search results up until my knowledge cutoff date of March 24, 2024, and it is always a good idea to consult the official documentation and manufacturer’s guidelines for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
