Friends,

Just got a 2019 BOLT EV.
Is there a point in getting high amperage charging stations like 40amp or 50amp ? What is the amp acceptance rate for BOLT.
I am planning to buy JuiceBox Pro 40a.

Please advise.

Unless you own a Tesla as well, 32 amps is all you need for the Bolt. Anything more would just be wasted charging capacity. Sure, getting a higher spec'ed EVSE may be "futureproofing", but who knows if you'll actually ever be able to take advantage of the extra capacity.
