    Unable to charge - Possible EVSE problem

    Meh. I'm still getting 18kwh out of the pack. At least that's what my energy consumption shows when the guessometer hits "LOW" I was unable to pull codes using generic OBDII. Onstar would tell me one month I had a P1EC4, next month was "green" month after that was P1EC4. I finally took it to...

    Unable to charge - Possible EVSE problem

    I think onstar is able to pull codes that don't trigger a check light. They keep telling me I have a P1EC4 and take it to the stealer. No light, nothing from generic OBDII. Stealer sometimes is able to pull codes.

    Stray AC voltage while charging?

    I thought the EVSE had a GFCI in it that would cut power if ground fault occurred?

    Is it ok to full-charge with a 23kw rate on a EVSE??

    Yes should be ok. There is one nearby I've used a few times. Takes twice as long but it's still 7 times faster than level 2 or 30 times faster than 8amp@120v.

    Dashcams

    Trim isn't too hard to remove. Fuse panel is below at the knee. I ran some wires down there and used a tap in fuse for my autodim mirror.

    Level 2 Charger Install

    The EVSE is only going to be supplying a 15 amp signal. There's something wrong if your drawing 40 amps...

    Level 2 Charger Install

    Tony, It looks like there is a neutral and ground. I agree with 14-50 advertising a 50 amp but it's at most a 30 amp circuit. I think he could have gotten away with just using a dryer cord instead of rewiring the outlet.... Mike, You changed the breaker to a 20 amp? if that's the case you...

    To trade in Spark or not?

    You don't have to wait 7.5 years. The rebate had a stipulation of minimum ownership length. As always, there is the policy and what they actually do in practice. Rebate recipients who do not retain the eligible vehicle for the full 30-month ownership or lease period will be required to...

    To trade in Spark or not?

    I don't think you qualify for the state EV incentive since you don't satisfy the 30 month ownership requirement.

    2 year Free Maintenance Question ???

    That's great news for you. Now if GM would actually offer 2 years of real maintenance to the rest of us....

    2 year Free Maintenance Question ???

    I believe the 2 year maint is only good for tire rotations. I don't remember about the brake fluid but the filter definately is not covered under 2 year maint.

    Bosch charger offer?

    There is a shorter warranty period if you install yourself vs having their electrician. But then from what i've heard having Bosh's preferred electrician install is very expensive.

    2014 vs 2015

    Although I've never driven a 2014. I think both 2014/15 models should drive in a similar fashion. The 2014 has a higher torque motor but the 2015 has a lower gear ratio. axle torque is about the same. Electric motor + single speed trans are different than a traditional ICE+ multi speed...

    Bosch charger offer?

    Call them again. I think the Spark discount chargers go through a dedicated sales group. I had to send them a copy of the registration twice and then I got a call from someone who could take my order. Be persistent and you will be rewarded with discounted equipment.

    Anyone interested in almost new stock tires?

    mixing brands not so bad. The larger concern I would have is mixing different tire types. Should be safe as long as you stay within the handling capabilities of the lowest performing tire....now buying used tires is a different experience...

    Operating windows when charging

    Typically see low to mid 40s when charging. Tapers down to about 30kw when its about 80ish pct. 10kw at 90. The service mode turns on accessory power and is run off the 12v battery.. I think leaving it on for long enough will eventually drain the 12v battery.
