  1. Problems, Driver Warnings or DTCs - Gen 1 Volt
    My 2013 Volt with 225000 miles has stopped charging. One day it worked fine, the next day it didn't. When I plug it in, the EVSE relay will click, the light on the dash turns orange, and then after 5-10 seconds the light goes out and the EVSE clicks off. The dash gives a Not Able to Charge...
  2. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    I drive a 2012 volt, which gives me only 30 miles/charge. So I use plugshare and other apps to find chargers near me wherever I go to avoid using gas. Problem is, the J-1772 plug is ALWAYS the most popular! At the mall there are so many non-chargepoint chargers (like EVgo and Blink) that at best...

    High Power 9.6kW 40A Electric Vehicle Charging Station for sale I bought a 2013 Nissan LEAF and love it! I have a heavy electrical background and was inspired when I saw some DIY units for sale here. I apologize to those who have already read the following before, I finally had to turn the...
  5. Li-Ion Battery, Charging, Mgmt System - Chevy Volt
    Hello everyone first post on this forum, I am hoping that an informed individual may answer this question of mine. I found a previous thread in regards to this question but it was months ago, so I decided to start a new thread if that is not against the forum rules. So in regards to the...

  7. Chevy Volt Engineering and Design
    I'm looking for some sort of adapter to charge an older conversion EV from any EVSE level 2 - J1772 Charging Station. Any ideas on where to buy or information on building (a simple solution) would be appreciated. I would need a socket to accept the EVSE J1772, the circuitry to activate the EVSE...
  8. Generation 1 Chevy Volt (2011-2015)
    I go to Lowe's this afternoon knowing that they have EV charging. Their charger showed up on one of the EV charging search sites (I forget which one). Anyway, when I get there, I pull out the cord and immediately said to myself, "WTF"?? Is this a "paddle charger" that I've heard about? What...
  9. Li-Ion Battery, Charging, Mgmt System - Chevy Volt
    I have kind of written a book here but if you have in depth knowledge of J1772 EVSE's I would appreciate any thoughts on the cause of my troubles or how to pin it down to an EV or EVSE control problem. My 2012 Volt is not charging when connected to the 230v Voltec L2 EVSE I have installed at...
  10. Li-Ion Battery, Charging, Mgmt System - Chevy Volt
    I ran into my EVSE J1772 plug a while back and broke it right off. Took some time, but I finally figured out how they wired it, to include the LED for lighting. I've been writing about this in Mods and Hacks, but found this area and decided it needed to go here.. This is just the PLUG, not an...
  11. Accessories, Apps, Modifications - Gen 1 Volt
    The fix is in!!! On the Chevy Volts EVSE, DO NOT CONNECT the Proximity Pin (PP) onto pin 5. It is for lighting the diode or whatever else you want to power with 15VDC. The Control Pilot (CP) on pin 4 needs 150 ohms across it, to ground. You do NOT need the 330 Ohm resistor and switch, though it...
