"It is easier to fool someone than it is to convince them they have been fooled."

Gas stations charge a higher fee for credit over cash because they are the only business that can legally add the credit card charge cost back on the customer. If ChargePoint works for you then keep on with it. I just had a nightmare of everybody taking the same business model. Wake up on...

Thank you ChargePoint for answering my question. If I understood it correctly it was: Sign up for the app, give us access to bill your credit card as much as we want, good luck with the privacy information, non-negotiable. Pigwich says to accept it as it is. If it works for you Pigwich then...

Has anybody else noticed ChargePoint asks a lot of questions but never answers any?

I purchased a Chevrolet Bolt because it has 3 times the range of my previously leased PEV, a 2015 BMW i3, and that is all I really need. Didn't like being tied to a lease.

Dear ChargePoint, I was recently given one of your cards. I always charge at home and have been using an ICE car for long trips. I would like to start using the Bolt for longer trips but due to privacy concerns I do not like signing up for Apps. Someone else having access to my email...

Would disabling the OnStar affect the warranty in any way? If GM loses contact with the vehicle how do they respond or do they care?

That's the irony of it. You have to look at the screen to read the message because you are wondering what could be so important to block out all other info which takes your eyes off the road. Doesn't that make this message screen more dangerous than if there was no alert at all?

Is anyone else getting this screen. It is the 4th time it has come up up and you have to acknowledge it or it won't go away. I am assuming there are lawyers and a lawsuit somehow involved but this is getting annoying.

Hey GM, if you really cared about safety, which the owners manual explains as the reason for you doing a lot of things, you wouldn't charge extra for Automatic Crash Response, it would be standard. I have already gotten this screen that is distracting me and I have had to take my eyes off the...

"Have you noticed an increase in your electric bill?" Yes I have seen a rise in my electric bill because I am using 250Kwh more electricity a month to charge my car. It is less than the amount I used to spend on 40 gallons at the gasoline station by about half and now I don't have to go there...

Been looking at the Solar Home Battery Storage systems on the market to get off the grid. Got a sales pitch about the Tesla Powerwall 2. Has anyone actually installed/going to install one of these in their home? Do you need 60Kwh of battery storage to charge a Bolt or is the Bolt helping power...

Bought a Bolt in 2017. Tried to do my taxes on Turbotax. It says my taxes can not be filed because the IRS has not gotten final approval for IRS Form 8936 (EV Tax Credit) for 2017. Has anyone else had this issue or is it Turbotax related?

It would affect everyone who makes less than $52,548 in 2018. So if I am single and made $45,451 in 2017 I would have been eligible for the full credit. I get a 3% raise in 2018 to $46,815. That is now $5,733 below the new full credit amount. At 23% tax rate that would be $1,318.59, or a...

I purchased my Bolt in the 2017 tax year. I was not sure due to the unknowns at the time of the new tax laws (early versions eliminated the EV Tax Credit) that would be in place for 2018 if I was doing the right thing or not. I bought because they had the model with the options I wanted...
