Regarding a 2014 BEV with DCFC...
I've got about a 50% success rate with L3 EVGo / CCS charging (L2 charging works 100% of the time).
When trying to charge from an EVgo CCS station, half the time (having connected the CCS cable) the EVgo station refuses to start charging.
I've made a solid mechanical connection by firmly inserting the CCS plug, but if I don't immediately hear activation of the locking servo (which prevents disconnecting a CCS cable during charging) then I know the session won't start.
Sometimes I can get the i3 and the EVSE to acknowledge each other by playing around with the connection.
Just today I fought with an EVGo DCFC connection for fifteen minutes before giving up and moving over to an L2 connection.
Suggestions would be appreciated!
