That lets the Hyundai and Kia slurp electrons at up to a 270-kilowatt rate, when plugged into a 350-kW DC charger. The new GMC Hummer EV I drove last week manages to illustrate both sides of the size-versus-speed conundrum. The GMC Hummer EV. That Hummer can range for 530 km (329 miles), not bad for a 4.5-tonne

As such, I think without significant price discounts (all of the other EVs also have access to the Federal tax credit except the Tesla), the two Bolt models will never see sales in the US above around 35,000 per year (if that even). Hence the focus on high-end models such as the GMC Hummer and Cadillac LYRIQ.

General Motors recently released the absolutely ludicrous GMC Hummer EV while the Chevrolet Bolt is being discontinued. Either way, the manufacturer said DC fast charging should recoup a 10 to 80 percent state of charge in about 27 minutes. That’s about what we’d expect from an EV of this size.

That frugal operation is boosted by a 924-volt architecture (versus 400 volts for Tesla, and 800 for Porsche's Taycan) whose benefits include restoring up to 300 miles of range in 20 minutes on a 350-kilowatt DC fast charger. Every buyer is eligible for a $7,500 federal tax credit, pushing the most-affordable Air to $71,400.

And so that's what we call "DC fast charging." New DC fast-charging stations are being built at a fairly fast clip. The challenge for the makers there is that there are multiple DC fast charging networks out there run by different companies. It doesn't cover the whole thing, but you do get a chunk of it back as a tax credit.
