I had heard rumors of that also, but I also remember a number thrown out there to be around $1,000 for said adapter. I am skeptical at that price point for very many takers.

I agree! And that is where their salesmanship should come in and ChargePoint needs to start selling owners what we really need along with investing in infrastructure themselves. That is why I am saying that Chargepoint basically doesn't "get it". They can't sell what they do not understand...

Sorry that you had a rough day of it. It can be frustrating for all when things don't go as planned. Hopefully it will go better tomorrow. Don't forget too that it sounds like it was a tough day at your Dealer Service. Good luck on your repairs!

Yes, I can agree with everything you said. My post was meant for ChargePoint because I want them to get the feeling of what is faced and why us EV owners feel the urgency to have many more fast/quick chargers. While they have posted that their regional manager has a Tesla, I would bet that the...

You are correct! However a Bolt has a much larger battery pack than a Spark and it is restricted from using this advantage because of the poor DCFC infrastructure whether it is within larger cities or passing from city to city or state to state. ChargePoint and other providers need to get on the...

Why do you drive a car that has practically no charging stations away from home to quickly charge at? What good is it to have a longer range EV when there is no quick/fast charging available on moderate to long trips from home?

It actually helps you get out of town if you are so inclined. For many of us it is well worth the money. CCS is few and far between and this helps a little to allow us to use the Bolt for longer travel. Thank you Tesla! Thank you destination people! And thank you Tony! It is just one more tool...

+1 And I might add the Dealers wanting to stock, and their salesman wanting to sell said vehicles.

Just because Tesla is a good product, doesn't make those of us who own one part of a cult, no more than owning a Bolt makes us a cult member. Anyone who says uninformed or incorrect information about (whatever car) will likely get an internet slap down. You could just as easily say "The Cult of...

Yes, they have made a move in the right direction. But... we need to keep the pressure on them to continue to lower the prices. Without the feedback and pressure, they will not lower the prices, which are the highest in the industry.

My son owns one (2017 Bolt LT) and is not on this forum but i own 2 Leafs and a Tesla. I'm living his Bolt experience vicariously through him! :lol:

Well they seem to have finally started to listen. While they are still the most expensive, they are now in the realm of planet Earth. This change, has been fought for (by some of us) that have been in the EV community for a while. This will help EVgo secure more users and also hopefully allow...

Nice lookin car Smokin R! 8-)

:lol: Drag strip time!

Way to go! Very good move. Hopefully you will be a duel EV family! You will find that having more than one EV is similar to compounding money.

We don't have even 1 ChargePoint fast/quick (DCFC) charge station in Arizona (okay there is 1 that is forever broken and ICE'd at BMW dealer). Must be having a dry spell in sales for DCFC here in Arizona. But I can dream that they will, as I am stuck on a level 2 charger for hours!

I set there and dream that tomorrow Chargepoint will install fast chargers everywhere!

Those very few who don't drive their Tesla's and instead drive gas long distance are outliers. There are plenty of apartment dwellers that cannot charge at home. Nissan dealers in my area are banning anyone but Leaf to charge. Evgo is more expensive than gas, are few in number, and require...

We sure are glad that Chevy is back in the game. I'm just waiting for them to get serious about selling volumes of BEVs. Oh, and at least installing CCS quick charging infrastructure somewhere. Even if that somewhere starts with dealerships. It is not very easy to leave town yet. I believe the...

And let me add... we need more quick charging infrastructure.
