Could be the chemistry is more sensitive than say the Spark EVs battery. That or GM found excessive degradation in the Spark battery, convincing it to go more conservative with the Bolt. Only GM and maybe LG chem know for sure.Why would the Bolt taper so early at around 50% SOC compared to the Spark EV? Maybe something to do with extending the lifetime of the battery if you're not aggressively changing it?
Very cool, although I confess it is mostly over my head.I forgot I wrote those blog things.

Based on the photo it looks to me like they're working on an adapter that allows a Tesla to charge at a CHAdeMO or CCS station. That wouldn't be of any use for, say, a Leaf or a Bolt that wants to charge at a Tesla station.Hopefully Tesla-DCFC adapters will be available soon.
An adapter is easy, convincing Tesla to let you turn the machine on is hard. Tesla doesn't want any low life rabble parked at their shiny vision of the future.What I would like to see is the other way around,Supercharger to DCFC! And a way to access their Network!
Adapters so Teslas can use J1772 have been around for quite a while.Hopefully Tesla-DCFC adapters will be available soon.

I was hoping for adapters so Bolts could use Superchargers. My bad.Adapters so Teslas can use J1772 have been around for quite a while.
Adapters so Teslas can use CHAdeMO have been available for a year or so.
