Ratings and reviews

-Very barebones UI. -Constantly showing Chargepoint charger being offline and points blame at the hardware, even though it's fine (Chargepoint app can see the charger no problem). -Did not detect a charging session. -Needs my car's app's login info - why?? I granted access to the charger, so you can manage that. And based on other aspects of the app, I'm reluctant to share any more info that I absolutely have to, as I don't trust that info will be properly secured.

Unresponsive, doesn't actually work (loses connection to vehicle as soon as I plug it in, anytime you press a button in the app you have to restart the app to see if it did anything). Update: the tech support that is apparently required to make the app function is slow and so far unhelpful. It took weeks to get the smart charging equivalent of unplug it and plug it back in.

The app doesn't list the Silverado EV RST trim level, only the WT3 and WT4. I chose the WT4. The GM Ultium charger is not listed either. I was able to connect to my Chevrolet account. Additionally, the app doesn't work properly for me. When attempting to charge to 80% via the ev.energy app (vehicle also set to max charge at 80%), the overnight charge finished at 100%, the app didn't record anything in the stats and now says the vehicle is offline but the MyChevy account is still connected.
