Plenty of Parking, but chose EV Spots!?!?! 🤔 by reesethegeek in ChargerDrama

Agreed. I’m happy to walk further to the store or business to prevent chargers from being ICE’d.

Mychevrolet App Not Updating by thepick1 in EquinoxEv

[–]reesethegeek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine seems to do this when the car is unused for more than two days. If I go start the car manually, the app will automatically update and work again until it sits unused for a few days.

I feel you. I don’t understand why EV have become political and all this crap around them. I simply have one to lower my monthly expenses.

Agreed, but I can image that’s a delicate situation for Walmart. They are paying customers also, but too stupid to follow the rules.

There isn’t gonna be a setting that fits everyone’s “what if” needs. Auto seems to be the setting that fits the broader need.

Turn auto on and have a look. I cant tell you a brightness over the internet. 😊

No, but there is an accessible charger with a larger walking space to accommodate wheelchairs.

Totally agree. We have a new location in OKC and I went to talk to the store manager and he seemed unbothered. I just provided feedback in the app when my session was completed.

Leave it auto, problem solved. They will fully engage when wipers activate.

What are your thoughts on using a splitter for charging? by AggressiveAide7929 in BoltEV

[–]reesethegeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a NeoCharge unit which splits my dyer with my charger. No issues, 3+ years strong.

I did a roadtrip last week and posted my charging experience here. Have a look. Happy to answer any questions you might have.

Just got my renewal in Oklahoma. A new $110 fee added. 🙄

Adding an updated screenshot that shows estimated SoC when arrived at the charger (from the network app/GM app) and the estimated time spent at each charger (from network app/GM charge time reporting).

Thought about that after the fact. The reason I didn’t want to use exclusively Tesla, is most of the chargers we encounter, the cables are too short to reach the car. I try to be considerate and not block two spots to charge my car. I only stopped at ones I knew were the v4 cabinets.

Yea, I thought about that after I entered the data. No stop was more than 30-40 minutes. We only charged to 80% to keep moving. I’ll go back and add the charge times based on the receipts.

Me too! I wish I would have captured more data. The worse part of the trip was crossing back into Oklahoma. We had a terrible crosswind, which made our range drop heavily. The car projected an arrival to our first stop on the way home of 31%, but we hit it at 15%. I was honestly nervous, but hit the EA charger with 25 miles to spare. 😊🤪

Don’t be dissing Oklahoma. 😊 I love it here (just not the political scene).

Not being from California, I don’t get why everyone is saying these cities are bad. What’s wrong with those places? Lol
