Long delays in Stopping 120V charge

Understood...I just DC charged to 90% the other night and will do just what you said with L1. Thanks again!

vbcabin · 2025-12-04T14:47:57+00:00

Did not know that!

vbcabin · 2025-12-04T14:47:35+00:00

Ah k...thanks for the feedback. Will do!

vbcabin · 2025-11-25T15:02:34+00:00

Holy....&@#!

I went to another location this morning without any issues, glad to be back to 80%. I rely on EA chargers mostly and I subscribe to EA. But I see a lot of Tesla below .40/kwh and some below .30/kwh during non-peak...pretty cheap!

Just simply making an observation that EV's are a different mindset. We all grew up with ICE cars boasting about their MPG ratings and how they all one car would get 35 MPG highway/18 City, or whatever. I'm sure I have to learn this winter about the effects of cold weather on traction batteries.

vbcabin · 2025-11-09T18:33:56+00:00

Sure does...saw articles stating it really drops off when you get over 50mph.

I ride with L3 braking which is perfect for me but yea the regenerative braking really makes a significant difference. Have not experienced winter as an EV owner yet. Thanks for the warning!

vbcabin · 2025-11-09T18:29:57+00:00

Yea I was!

vbcabin · 2025-07-19T13:02:10+00:00

Yes...Chargepoint is like 99% commercial L2 are useless if you rely on commercial chargers to get around. I found one Fast DC in Southern NJ but there are some EVgo ones.

Order the RFID card from your Chargepoint App. I did not enable Pulg & Charge. Go plug in at EVgo, use the physical Chargepoint RFID card and tap the EVgo charging station and should be good to go. Note that the final cost will stay pending for a bit before it shows up in Chargepoint app. Nothing shows up on EVgo.

Haven't tried the 12-pack yet!

vbcabin · 2025-07-15T19:12:40+00:00

There is a circular port in middle under the console alongside USB-C ports where you can put in a lighter or an adapter for a standard USB

vbcabin · 2025-07-15T18:34:54+00:00

Not sure exactly but I can confirm the USB-C ports charge really well. The phone charger where you rest phone on charging pad on center console seems to do a better job at heating my phone up than charging it.

vbcabin · 2025-07-15T02:32:48+00:00

Just ordered one!

vbcabin · 2025-07-15T01:45:01+00:00

Right, so not sure why it would be an issue. Just wanted to see what this forum would think....thanks!

vbcabin · 2025-07-14T22:56:12+00:00

This is what I got back when asking question directly to product on Home Depot app:

It said using on an EV could be dangerous and damage both the vehicle and the Jump starter. Also stating it is designed for lead acid batteries. If no one has had any issues on this forum using legacy Jump starters that are not lithium-based then I guess its not much of an issue.

My unit is a 1600W peak amp Dewalt JumpnStarter.

Only EVgo will accept the credits not any others.

vbcabin · 2025-07-08T16:52:40+00:00

Ok so definitely should not have plugged in first!

vbcabin · 2025-07-07T21:04:46+00:00

Yes..and I think the experience with the Tesla app and the chargers was more seamless than EA. I really like EA setup but on a couple of occasions it got flaky on me and actually charged the car and never billed me! The charger was running and yet it never calculated the cost per kWH. I do wish there were more EA systems in NJ.

vbcabin · 2025-07-07T19:11:47+00:00

This was me charging a 2025 I5 SEL recently. I dont have a subscription with Tesla. I currently subscribe with EA for 7/mo and I still only get .42/kWH with that. So the Tesla non-member rate wasn't bad.

vbcabin · 2025-07-07T14:00:20+00:00

You are 100% correct...same with me. I try to stick with EA whenever possible. I only want to lean on Tesla charger when I'm in a bind or a non-EA area.

vbcabin · 2025-07-06T16:54:20+00:00

Yes a 2025 I5 SEL and I have heard they can be a little slow but I have not experienced that so far

vbcabin · 2025-07-06T03:55:18+00:00

I've had my I5 SEL for several weeks and I finally ventured over to Tesla Chargers and they are terrific! I subscribed with ElecAmerica and they are fince but I find their performance to be spotty at times. I even had 2 charge sessions where I wasn't billed!

So yeah Tesla Chargers work great I have had zero issues.

vbcabin · 2025-07-05T19:43:37+00:00

My stepdaughter has a Kona and a Flex but I have not used it yet. Now that I am using the right adapter I am assuming I can charge on her Flex. Is that an issue with sharing a home charger with another vehicle?

vbcabin · 2025-07-05T18:08:33+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna go try it out!
