  1. Care, Maintenance & Service - Chevy Volt
    I have been using my 110V charger for the past year with no issues, but starting yesterday it no longer works -- the flashlight stays lit all the time (as if the trigger is being pulled), and the Volt doesn't beep when the charger is inserted. I tried unplugging it for 15 secs but same result...
  2. Electric Vehicle Batteries & Plug-In Charging
    Are there any issues with replacing a 3 way switch setup with 15A outlets to use for L1 charging? In my garage I have an existing 3 way switches to control the interior light from the front overhead door and a rear access door. I would like to leave this always hot as the garage door is...

    Hi Everyone! If all goes well, I should be getting my 2013 by the end of the week. I am wondering if I "must" plug in the 110v charger in GFCI plug. I have a regular 3 prong to which I plug in a central vac and never have issues. Do you all think that will suffice? Or do I install a GFCI? I...
  7. Generation 1 Volt (2011-2015)
    I picked up my replacement charger today, and I noticed something different (I think). When I plugged in the previous charger, I'd end up with two green lights on top and 4 on the bottom. With the new charger, I'm getting the two on top green...on the bottom, all 4 light up green during...
