I had my EV charger installed in my garage. But my wife insists on not charging the upcoming Tesla Model 3 in the garage. She believes there is some risk, even though it is very small.
Should I consider routing the charging head outside the garage and charging the EV on the driveway?
Hi, I just got my first EV (2026 Tesla M3P) this week, and I signed up for a Chargepoint account. However, when I try to add the Chargepoint Pass to Apple Wallet, nothing happens. I have tried deleting the Chargepoint app, added a payment source, verified my information, and it still doesn't add the pass to Wallet. Any tips on how to fix this?
This garage plug is connected into a 30 amp breaker in the circuit box for welding... Can I use this for charging my EV? I have been reading it should probably be a 50 amp breaker with the appropriate Nema plug but I was just wondering. Thank you for your help.
Hello all! I’m relatively new to the Equinox EV family. I’m a Tesla defector. I was under the assumption (wrong) that I could charge my Equinox EV with my home garage Tesla charger (pictured) as long as I bought the GM NACS charger. Nope.
What have you all found to be the best way to charge?
I tried the NACS adaptor on a local Tesla Supercharger and it didn’t work. Also, how do you pay? With Tesla, it just automatically charged to my account.
It seems where I live ( Pasadena, CA) many of the options for “fast charging” take HOURS to get from 10% to 80%, if they work at all as they seem often to be “offline”.
And, they seem to be located in paid parking garages and I’m opposed to paying to “park” while charging my car.
Any tips/best practices/advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
Please forgive my ignorance.
I live in Quebec Canada where it can go as low as -30 sometimes -40. The charger will be installed outside.
Also grizzl-e has that free charger club thing they do which is interesting.
I see a lot of these listed on OfferUp.
I’ve got a L2 charger at home and use a j1772 adapter to charge my Tesla Y nightly. Have been doing so without issue for 18 months.
Now, when I plug in the at-home charger (with adapter) into my Tesla, nothing happens. No charging. No lights. The at-home charger doesn’t turn on the charging light it has. Nothing.
Could this just be an adapter issue? Could it be something bigger?
I’m going to go to other L2 and Tesla Chargers today to troubleshoot. Anyone have better advice?
Thanks in advance.
Update: I used my Tesla L1 charger (plugged into an electrical outlet) and it charges as it should. So the issue is with my L2 charger (it is a decade old) or with the adapter all of a sudden. I have a new adapter coming Tuesday. If that doesn’t fix the issue, sounds like it is my wall L2 charger. This sound about right?
Hi, can this charger charge 5 lifepo4 12.8 volt batteries? They will be 100 ah, I wanna use it in a electric tricycle
Sorry if this isn’t the place to post. But I was looking for home chargers and discovered this sub and Pion that would pay you up to 10c/kWh. Then I had this idea if I switched to my ultra low rates option at 3.9c/kWh. Could I somehow use my charger to charge an external battery bank and use this bank to power small utilities and outlets in my house? Thanks!
Hi,
Anyone had success with getting an EV charger installed on a private estate in England? I have a freehold house and parking space, but my parking space is separated by a 1m walkway owned by the estate freeholder.
Anyone ever had any similar work done and can let me know roughly how much they paid, and what the process is?
Our Estate Management company doesn't own the land, so they have given me an address to send snail mail to.
Holy heck! I've not seen this fast. Went up to 238 kW.
Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone manages with only a Level 1 charger at home? I don't drive a lot, maybe 10km on weekdays and 45 km on weekends. Currently, I have a plug in hybrid that I plug in everynight, and have no issues doing the same with a full EV. I do have access to a level 2 nearby.
Is this setup feasible? Does anyone do it?
TIA
I’ve used this app for a few months no issues. Unfortunately last week it started glitching. When I tap on my iPhone screen to open the app it gets big for a second then shuts down. Called bc hydro and they said no issues on their end? I’m using a iPhone 8 running 16.7.16 iOS which is compatible with the app. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Sabse badi problem ev vehicle users kr liye, they can't check their batteries health on their dashboard. Cars,buses,bikes,scooters ye kahi bhi band ho jaa rahi hai.
Any solution?
Ordered our second EV for the house a couple weeks ago. Currently have a ChargePoint with the 14-50 below it. Trying to decide if we need a new charger, second line run or just run it for a bit and see how things go. I saw the new Grizzle has a dual charger and you can mix and match plugs on the same line. I have a 90 mile a day commute, partner only 15, so might not need daily charging.
2026 Trailseeker limited ordered for the 90 mile commute
2024 Solterra for the 15 mile commute
Winter is where I feel like we’ll see the issue of overlapping needs
I also so the splitvolt, but I’d rather go second charger over one them at that price
What are others sound?
TIA
That $.20 Ionna deal is REAL and awesome. Just juiced up both of our EVs. California electricity is stupid expensive so $.20 is a big deal. Go get yours!
Installing the 48A Ulitmate. I like a lot of things about this setup. The ONE thing that will absolutely turn me off to buying a second unit is the power input knockout size. WTF is supposed to fit in here? It's ~just~ under a standard 1" fitting. It's way too big for a 3/4", requiring janky reducing washers and couplers, making it sloppy if you've run "1 to the unit.
Get your shait together Grizzl-E.
I installed a Tesla Wall Connector last year on a 30A circuit, bringing my garage subpanel to its capacity (98A on a 100A panel). Now I'd like to install the Tesla Power Meter so that I have headroom to install a 240V HPWH, and if necessary to update the TWC to 40A or 50A to support a second EV.
My question is how to wire the RS485 cable.to the TWC. I'd prefer to not fish the RS485 through the EMT conduit. It appears it's permissible to wire it separately but my question is how to enter the TWC. The bottom knockout is available, but I can't find a clear answer on whether that's permissible.
The Tesla doc itself only says:
"• Use 16 AWG shielded twisted pair cable to extend RS485 harness as needed.
NOTE: The 600V-rated cable must be used if this wiring is to be run through the same conduit as the
power circuits (if not, 300V-rated cable is sufficient)."
I'm a happy customer. The charge needle on my 2026 Leaf zoomed up like nobody's business. Just enough time for restroom visit, a drink, and a snack. Thanks, AppleGreen!
