Found a previous 2020 post (2012 "Unable to charge" - clicking EVSE, no...)
but Forum recommended I start new due to age.
2012 175k miles. Have always charged at home using portable (120V) charger. My Voltec originally supplied with Volt stopped working couple years ago and I bout replacement on Amazon (Megear Level 1-2). Been working fine up until now. couple days ago got the "unable to charge" notification on Volt display screen. Read posts about possible chargeport replacement as solution, but then took to Chargepoint 240V charger and experienced no issue with Volt accepting the charge. My Megear display lights up all indicators like operating and charging normally when connected (no fault light - pic attached), but appears no "handshake", occurring at the chargeport. Do experienced forum readers think I have a charger issue or chargeport. Yes the Megear product info looks a little sketchy (language conversion etc.), but curious if readers ran into this exact issue with original Voltec unit as well (no charging on Voltec 120V, but no issue on Commercial 240V charging station?)? I can pursue warranty claim with Megear...that may turn out to take too long. Willing to just purchase another, but if issue is chargeport would prefer not to have to pursue both "fixes". It has rained a lot here recently in case that could have caused issue (we charge outside), but again, only issue is either with my Megear unit or 120V charging in general or ???.
Appreciate the review/response.

The problem started AFTER the heavy rain, but no issues during the rain. We've had a lot here recently in So Cal. I tried the 120V again at home immediately AFTER the 240V successful charge at Chargepoint, and again experienced no charging on the 120V. No access to another EVSE (I think that's the name for my portable at home 120V charger). But that's a good thought. Have a neighbor couple doors down with a newer volt. Not sure if they are level 1 or 2, but I can check. My only hesitancy would be if for some reason my chargeport contributed to a malfunction of my EVSE (wouldn't want to do that to my neighbor. But no "Fault" indication my EVSE....but again, not totally confident re it's quality/accurate indicator light representation. The EVSE in the pic has red only when not connected and red green blue immediately upon connection. The Volt Dash top light sequence now with EVSE 120V connection at home: the smaller Amber lights up for about 3 seconds upon connection, then goes off.
Thx for the comments and I'll look for your reply.

Thx.
assuming they are Level 1, I'll ask them next time I see them. Good input - appreciate it.

Thanks all.
Update: I did speak with my neighbor - and was set to try my Volt with their Charger on Monday (they were out of town), but because of the original rain inquiry, I tried one additional step: We had sunny day, so laid my plug end of charger in the sun - connectors facing the sun. Gave a quick check after 3 hours and got the green light - charging. real test was last night (I reset charging from immediately to my TOU settings (low peak starts at 9p)) - and this morning found that a got a full charge! If we have more sun today, I'll probably repeat for good measure, but looks like problem may be solved. appreciate all the input!

Well, we've had a ton of rain here in So Cal and we always charge outside, so my just be circumstantial....and if I really want to prevent I can charge it inside when we get a similar forecast (solves it for me)...but they are rare...until now. Just got another "atmospheric river" yesterday-tomorrow.....
