No problem with amps on Chevy Bolt

As the Chevy Bolt has a current limit there is no problem with the default setting of 16 amps at 120v. I was a little worried after reading the reviews what should be careful as it defaults to 16 amps in the event of a power outage, but when used with a Chevy Bolt it has a setting to limit the input current to 8 or 12 amps (depending on the wiring in your home), so when it is plugged in it only draws 8 or 12 amps. So this is great for my needs, namely portable 120v and 240v at higher amps. Update: I was finally able to test 240 volts and requires you to switch from the standard 16 amps to get 20 amps at 240 volts. You do this by holding down the setup button (flash) for more than 3 seconds while it's on (but disconnected from the car) and then quickly pressing to cycle through the amp settings (10/13/16/20 Amp).
