Big batteries

The first gen Volt's ~12kWh battery is on the far left, then the second gen's ~14kWh battery next, then the Spark EV's ~20kWh, then the Bolt's ~60kWh battery final. 160kW maximum power output from the Bolt's battery, cool. The Volt doesn't have a fast charging option and the onboard charger is limited to around 3.6kW off 220V service, but the display sometimes shows around 45kW being sent into the battery via regenerative braking going down steep grades. I should be able to "fast charge" it by putting it in neutral and spinning the wheels backwards on a dyno then, right? Might have a negative impact on the odometer, though...
