I have a 2014 Spark EV. It has been a pleasure to drive. I have occasional problems with the charge cord but they have resolved after re-connecting everything a few times.
This is different. I charged my car today at work with no problem. I returned home and tried to plug in. My portable charge cord unit has a steady green/flashing red combination indicating a fault.
There is no brown-out in the area. I tried several outlets all with the same result.
The car will not charge under these conditions, and I cannot get to the dealer sooner then six days from now. Even then, I am not sure what they will be able to do, except for ordering another charge cord. [ I am on cord #2 - #1 had a broken ground plug at the early age of ten months]. These units are pricy - about $500. With no moving parts, these should not be so expensive nor quirky.
I have tried the various "unplug - reset breaker - check connections" ideas on the threads here. Nada. Doodly. Zippo.
If you have any useful advice, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks!
P.S. I just worked a 16 hour day, so this was not the way I wanted to finish my day.
