Ratings and reviews

Does what it says but would be nice to have additional features like connecting to the internet and is equipped with advanced features like Create schedules to take advantage of lower utility rates, restrict access, see your usage history, and get real-time charging notifications. I can't seem to get connected to the charger via wifi.

I didn't have particularly high expectations for this app. I simply needed a method to connect to my existing PowerUp+ level 2 charger to configure the breaker setting. The app paired with the charger just fine via Bluetooth. Once paired, the app provides the option to configure wi-fi. I thought this would be convenient, but the field for entering the wi-fi password has a character limit (?!?) less than the length of my wi-fi password. One has to wonder who designed this app this way?

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.
