EVgo and Electrify America DC Fast Chargers which were limiting me to about 14 KW have been fixed! :D I am not sure when this happened because I been avoiding these particular models of chargers for quite sometime now. The EV go 50 KW charger I am now getting 48 KW and the Electrify America...

I am happy to report that EVGO and Electrify America chargers that had been limiting me to just 14 ot 15 KW have been fixed and are both now charging me at 48 and 55 KW. :D I had been avoiding these chargers for quite some time so I have no idea when they were fixed or how. My guess is a...

Hi Infinion, When my Outdoor Wifi Smart Plug cuts the power to my 120 Volt EVSE my car doesn't make any sound or alarm. I am pretty sure I turned off the alarm setting in the car's setup. I believe there is an alarm setting if the car is charging and someone unplugs the car before it is fully...

Thanks for the info SparkE. Yes I know about programming a departure time and I actually do use it quite often even with the Wifi Smart Plug. Here is an example. Say I know I am not going to drive the car Monday and Tuesday and the last time I am driving the car is on Sunday. So when I get...

Good news, it Wifi plug works like a charm. :D The car does give me a message that there was a power loss while charging after turning on the car or radio. Since I know the reason for the power loss is the Wifi plug cutting the power there is no mystery there. The only thing I wish the...

Since I only drive about 2 times a week the biggest annoyance for me is remembering to plug my car in. Lots of times I remember right before or after I crawl into bed. This is super annoying to have to put clothes back on and go into a cold garage in the winter. My garage is not attached and...

I am writing this mainly to help someone in the future who is having the same problem I am and what I figured out is the problem for me at least. When I go to unlock my 2014 Spark EV with the key fob or even sitting in side and using the door lock button on the arm rest the doors unlock and...

UPDATE: 11/15/2021 I went to two different Electrify America stations on the other side of town. I wanted to try charging on different model and make of chargers to see if my car would charge at 50kW on other chargers other than ABB chargers. The first Electrify America had Signet...

@MrDRMorgan, I took a look on PlugShare and the EA chargers in Castro Valley sure look like BTCPower chargers to me. I also looked at the EVgo in Castro Valley as well and they don't look like the EVgo chargers I been to. I searched high and low in my area at all the EVgo chargers trying to...

I haven't gotten that message but at EVgo, new Electrify Americas and CalTrans chargers they only let me charge at 14 kW. At an older Electrify America it charges me at 50kW. I too have a 2014 Spark EV. I just did the modification on the charging port as described on this post...

I only get 14 kW at EVgo as well. It is not just at EVgo though. Newer Electrify America stations and a new CalTrans charger all only give me 14 kWs. At an older Electrify America ABB charger I kept getting communications errors. I finally found a charging station there that worked and my...

Infinion gave great advice and lots of wonderful information. I am very new to the Spark EV world and this is my first post. The only thing I could add is to check your 12 volt battery. Make sure it is good and is a ACDelco LN1AGM. I have heard many times that a weak 12 volt battery or the...
