I just for the first time charged my Blazer EV at a Tesla Supercharger. I used the Tesla app and it went seamlessly. It was a 250 and I started at 35% soc and it took me 35 minutes to reach 87% soc. I was very pleased.
@@JamesLawrence-cu5zs from what I understand, unless you are taking a road trip, you're not supposed to constantly charge your battery to 100% each time or it will eventually degrade your battery's lifespan over time. 35 mins it's to get it to 80-85% from 10%; the recommended range by manufacturers standards.
Thanks for a really helpful information. I drive a Tesla, but my brother has a Chevy Bolt, so I sent him a link to your video which should get him going.
On larger Tesla V3 sites 12+ as a quick quality of life improvement they should consider rotating the right most stall 180degrees. That way cord is a bit more than 1 foot closer to the 2nd most common non Tesla inlet location left front driver side fender. This would also make it less necessary to park strangely, depending on vehicle layout remark the lines a bit possibly saving a space. This has been done at ccs2 locations before as well. I figure possibly as much as 1/3 of sites are capable of doing this.
They opened up a 20 stall v3 Magic Dock site and it has been much needed just off the interstate exit. Compared to 3 miles for the 6 stall EA that’s usually full or you’re the next contestant of charger roulette. If my memory serves me correctly they’ll be building a 40 stall v3+/v4 just outside of the airport. The current 12 stall that’s a mile away always has a 5 minute wait time minimum.
The GM app price is the same as Tesla. It looks different because the Tesla per kWh includes the sales tax, while the GM price is without tax and then you are charged tax after the charge is complete.
@@theaverageev thanks!....so the only way to get pricing equal to a Tesla owner would be to pay the sub fee it sounds like. One reason owning a Tesla would be a tad cheaper for roadtripping i suppose. Good to know, Cheers!
You can tell the Tesla app what kind of car you drive and the Tesla app will also guide you to Tesla superchargers that are compatible with your car. I got a NACS adapter for my Bolt and I am bummed out the Tesla SC spot that is like 2 minutes from my place is an old V2.
When I look on the Chevy Bolt EV Forum, I cannot find any info on the older Tesla chargers not usable to charge my 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV. Why is that? If I ask that question on the forum, I’m thinking I’m gonna get some kind of nasty response. All the info seems to be focused on the proper plug converter, or using the MyChevy app (need for OnStar) vs Tesla app. I have a 200 mile stretch on highways to get to my daughter’s house with a PERFECTLY positioned Tesla charger on northbound and southbound sides of the PA turnpike. And it’s even at the midway point, so you could imagine my excitement on hearing the news that Tesla chargers are now open to GM. But I believe these are the old Tesla version 2 chargers. In your view, has anything changed regarding these old chargers that your video simply states are NOT usable? Wouldn’t ya sure as heck think THAT would be important enough to mention on the forum? Eagerly awaiting on your reply.
Hello! V2 Superchargers do not use the CCS protocol which is needed for the chargers to communicate with non-Tesla vehicles. Tesla actually had to retrofit every V3 Supercharge that they made available to non-Tesla so that those would communicate via CCS communications. It is my understanding that the V2 chargers will never be made available for non-Tesla vehicles. The myChevy App will display all the ones available to GM customers. The Equinox has them included in the navigation, but I'm not sure if they did the same for the Bolts. Sorry!
Which Tesla App are you using specifically here? When I looked at Apps on the store, there was only 1 App made by Tesla and it seemed like you had to own a Tesla vehicle to use it. Thanks in advance.
So GM places the charging port for the Silverado EV on the driver's side rear exactly like Tesla, so no issues charging on V3's. The short cable reaches perfectly and you only take up 1 parking slot just like Teslas. Yet, a good number of people tow with their trucks, so they would have to unhitch to charge. Why not place it on the passenger's side right? But on other GM EV's (which generally don't tow), they placed the port on the driver's side left, requiring taking up 2 parking spots on V3's. Can someone explain all that logic that to me?
And I’m finding that my plug I got from GM is really hard to put in. I have to slam it in first and then put the Tesla in it my latch seems to be to short There’s not much tolerance around it
@@theaverageev are you having issues with your Wi-Fi in your car when you go to sign in on your GM app it won’t do it. It keeps spinning I have to turn my car Wi-Fi off I think.

35 minutes and still not full, I don’t get you guys and your ev

Thank You Everybody for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth

Charged at a V3 yesterday. The cable and adapter got very warm but this is certainly a game changer
Love all the content lately, thanks!!
Thanks for watching!!!
Thanks for a really helpful information. I drive a Tesla, but my brother has a Chevy Bolt, so I sent him a link to your video which should get him going.
Thanks for explaining how to tell a V4 from a V3 and a V2. Especially the silver handle on the V2. Very helpful. Thx.
Very informative video! Thanks so much!
Thank you this will help a lot of people.
Great information
Great video, thank you!

Is the price same going through GM app vs a Tesla app(without sub)? Or is the pricing different altogether? Cheers.

It would be great if you could do a video demonstrating the self parking feature.
Just got an OTA update that says it improves battery performance. Hope you received it. :)
Ooh. I haven’t yet! Hopefully soon!

That is the correct app! You just need to make an account and then you click on charge your EV!
How many km/miles you got so far?
About 6500 miles on the odometer so far!

Can you show in video how to do it in the vehicle?
I will make a short later today!
He didn't mention the Tesla URBAN SuperChargers aka V1. They are a different type and only available to Teslas.
I did exclude them, but I thought that they are different enough people wouldn't use them. V2 and V3 look very similar.
Not once did you mention the charging speed which is also very important!
That will vary based on again product. I have a video where I do a charge test on the equinox!
On a supercharger
And I’m finding that my plug I got from GM is really hard to put in. I have to slam it in first and then put the Tesla in it my latch seems to be to short There’s not much tolerance around it
Oh boy, you better hope Tesla doesn’t hear that open it only for a trip and closing it they gonna band you boy 😮
Ahahahha 🤣🤣🤣
