So my Voltec charger mysteriously stopped working. Very minimal wear and tear. I took care of this quite well. The indicator lights are reading green which confirms that it's indeed on. It's simply not charging. The dealership tested the car and concluded that it was the charger. They said it...

The purchase of a new to us commuter car for my wife put us into a scramble to educate ourselves about the Chevy Volt. I went out to purchase a 2016 or newer 2nd generation used vehicle. Found more of the first generation at really good prices. Got one coming off a lease with 25k miles for 15K...

Hey all, Bought myself a second charger for work so I wouldn't have to lug it around. It's a duosida 16amp level 2 EVSE 25 foot charge with a 6-50 welders plug. The input plugs into a box outside that can be locked. But my office is in a shady area and im worried someones going to try to yank...

Hi, I'm WalterC from a very cold windy place in Mass looking at switching from a Fit to a Volt. I've just become aware of Volts and my next car will likely be a volt instead of a Prius. I'll either buy ASAP or wait till spring or summer. Is the included 120 VAC charger OK plugged into outdoor...

Just drove home a new '15 Volt and am deciding on how to best set up my home charging station. I could really use some knowledgable advice, preferably from electricians or others who've fully researched this. (I didn't see a "Volt/EV 101" section in the FAQ, so please excuse if these are covered...

I am relatively new to the volt I have had it since june 2013.. the only thing like most other on this site is the slow charging time of the 3.3kw onboard charger... can someone tell me if there is an upgrade or after market charger that can change this . a lot of the level 2 chargers are...

If I can install a charger at all at my home, I won't be able to do a standard wall mount. It'll be outside in a carport. http://www.coulombtech.com/pdfs/CT2100%20Installation%20Guide.pdf The bollard/pole mounts for the Chargepoint look nice. I know I've seen similar bollard mounts for...

I just found out that the Pacific View Mall in Ventura, California has upgraded their old style electric vehicle chargers. Two of the stations now have Volt compatible charge cords, and these level II chargers are FREE. They are located between Sears and Red Robin. These chargers don't seem...

The chargers at the garage across from my office have gotten very crowded during the last three months. We've needed to find ways to share the chargers between us. So we revived the Courtesy Charging Protocol that was used by the Rav4 and EV1 folks back during the first wave of electric...

I purchased my Volt on Nov. 3 of 2011. On Nov. 4 I contacted SPX and filled out the application for a 220 volt charger. Now it is January 6th of 2012 and my charger is still not installed. In my opinion SPX has grossly mis-managed my charger installation. SPX has grossly over charged for the...

I am not a big fan of Home Depot.. but I came across this while look for something else EV related. BY getting major player outside the “EV” or “Car” industry involved can only help cut costs here.. I do not think they are cheap…. But still it opens it up to Wal-Mart’s and Lowes, etc...

I have had my Volt #1569 for about 2 months now. I'm am the first Volt sold in the state of Minnesota, and as such there is a very limited charging network established in the Twin Cities. I have been working with a few "green city advisors" and business to get more and more chargers installed...

Anyone have any information on charging the VOLT for long battery life? I have the 120v charger and the 240v charger - I've been using the chargers (based an when I need the car again and how low the charge is) to charge at either at 1000 W, 1500 W, or 3600 W. Is the slowest charge rate the...
