  1. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 2 Volt
    My car is set to delay charging. When I plug it into my ChargePoint charger it connects and starts charging immediately. If I check the car the setting has been changed to immediate charging. If I cancel that then the charging stops and the proper delay charging cycle is activated. Why...
  2. Chevy Bolt EV Charging
    My Volt has to be parked on the right side of my garage, putting the charge connector in the middle of the garage. I needed a creative solution and here it is on You Tube: https://youtu.be/gy8bWIdxnto The total cost was about $1,000 ($250 electrician, $200 for MyLifter and $550 for ChargePoint...
  3. CANADA
    After three weeks with the Volt I’m thinking about investing in L2 charging. So far I’ve made it work with L1 charging at home and topping up at work, but with winter coming and what I assume will be some diminished range having L2 at home to cut charging time in half will help a lot. I likely...
  4. Chevy Volt News, Reviews & Events
    Hey guys, anyone buy and use a chargepoint home charger? I'm looking at getting one for my Volt when it comes in. It looks like it has a nice combo of smart features and good power for the price. Any experience out there with this unit they care to share?
  5. Generation 2 Chevy Volt (2016-2019)
    I just bought and installed a Chargepoint Home L2 EVSE for my 2nd gen Volt. The EVSE is incredibly small and I love the statistics that you can view in the Chargepoint app (Total KWH, Miles added, cost based on utility). My question to you is that since the Chargepoint supports time based...
  6. Electric Vehicle Batteries & Plug-In Charging
    BMW and Volkswagen announced they are teaming up and working with ChargePoint to create nearly 100 DC fast charge electric vehicle charging stations along heavily traveled roads on the East and West Coasts. Each station is expected to include up to two 50 kW direct current Fast chargers, or 24...

  8. Li-Ion Battery, Charging, Mgmt System Cadillac ELR
    I stopped at a ChargePoint station (combo 120v/240v station) to charge today and the 120v door was physically stuck open with a locking pin obstructing the ability to close the door. No matter what I did with my RFID card, it wouldn't release the pin. (I even tried plugging in my 120 charger...
  9. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    I had to drop my son off yesterday at Union Station in DC. He was going on a school trip and I parked at Union Station once, never again. I decided to take the DC Metro there, but not the typical route. There are 4 chargers near the Navy Yard Metro. Now those chargers are normally free...

    BlackBerry 10 O/S allows for sideloading of Android Apps. However, those apps that used Google Maps APIs would not work. Thanks to the wonderful work of some CrackBerry members, there is a script to fix those troublesome apps. Here is the thread over there for more details...
  11. Electric Vehicle Batteries & Plug-In Charging
    My last post about Coin operated public charging stations was met with some confusion. http://gm-volt.com/forum/showthread.php?87314-Coin-operated-public-charging-station-market Some thought a coin operated charging station setup would be very expensive. Some thought it would create overhead to...
  12. Electric Vehicle Batteries & Plug-In Charging
    Will we ever see coin operated public charging stations? :confused: The current business model used by companies like Chargepoint is not beneficial to their customers. You get a company like Chargepoint to install a charging station and you pay a one-time installation cost between $5,000 and...

    Blink Card Holders Can Use Chargepoint Chargers (& vice-versa) Pat Romano, the CEO of ChargePoint, uses the analogy of ATM machines... "If you have a Bank of America card, you can still get cash out of a Wells Fargo ATM machine," said Romano. "This is the same thing." (read more...)
  15. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    Is there a way to be alerted when a ChargePoint station becomes available? At work, we have only two chargers run by ChargePoint. Sometimes, both of them are occupied so I have to wait. Instead of having to keep checking the ChargePoint website or app to see if a charger has become available...

  19. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    As Volt owners, we pretty much agree we will not pay $1/hour for level 2 charging. Maybe level 2 owners or service providers (ChargePoint) don’t understand why. The Volt will get 35-40 miles per gallon in charge sustaining mode. For 1 gallon of gas, priced at $3.65, the Volt can travel 40...
