Could the "Maximum AC power is 240 volts 40 amps" be referring to charging with the included cordset? Because it plugs into a NEMA 14-50 receptacle, it is limited to 40 amps (80% of the receptacle capacity).

This, I think they were saying this for the included 32 Amp dual level mobile EVSE.

I just pulled the owners manual down to review it in Adobe Acrobat vs. my web browser. One of the really nice things about the Volt is you can tell it to NOT charge during peak electrical price hours. It appears the Blazer will attempt to honor this request but if it can't get to the desired setting it will charge during those hours. What I can't tell is if the target setting for those sessions overrides the overall target charge limit or if it will only charge during peak hours if it needs to to reach your daily charge amount but then charge during off-peak to the overall maximum charge setting.

It will honor your off-peak times but if it can't reach your target charge level in off-peak it will charge in peak time as well. That is how it is done in the Lyriq.
