That is very confusing marketing from Chevy, but the bolt has a 48 amp onboard charger for AC charging. You can use any evse you want, but are wasting your money past 48amps.

On the leaf too, it's not about the wallbox (evse). You need to search for the 'onboard charger amperage' to figure out what the vehicle is capable of and then buy a evse that is rated for that or more. The leaf is rated for 6.6 kw or about 30amps on 240V.

Yeah, they are saying the wall charger maximum is 80A. Not that this year's car can handle it, which is a little misleading.
