After contacting EV live, you can't use the brand app on the charger before I have the car registered. No info on this in the charger manual. Also not clear what the Bluetooth device name should look like. Manual says GM_EV_xxxxxx for the Bluetooth code but was completely different. Then used ultium app which functioned fine for initial setup but each time you go back in it makes you go through all the Bluetooth and wifi steps every time, even though it knows you are set up already.

I constantly get a Wi-Fi password incorrect error. I know my password. I even copied the password from my 2.4 network provider's app and pasted it in the password field. Still received a password error. What a POS app. MyChevrolet won't connect either. I get the same message. I'm thinking there is a character requirement or something weird that is giving me that error. I even took my work phone, stood right next to the charger, and it connected without any issues.

I have to give it a 5 star as it does exactly what it said. It is to connect via bluetooth to set the current and to connect the charger to wifi. The wifi is not for the benefit of the user to check the state of charging or stats. The wifi is for GM's purpose only; they may use it to push some update when they feel like it. Yes you the user cannot check if there is an update for the firmware. And it is for GM to listen and collect stats of your use and most probably sell it to home insurers.
