Hello, I got a 2013 Chevy volt from Carvana and it was not charged. Guy said he didn’t know it was a plug in. I was able to get the car to charge a little at a public place but was only getting 3 kilowatts so I decided to try at home. I was able to charge a little more using “mountain” mode. I found an outlet outside my house. I plugged the charger in and the green light glows. I plug it into my Chevy and it says “plug in to charge” like the cord isn’t even there. It lets me start the car and potentially drive off and everything. I make sure it clicked and jiggled it some, blew it out with can air duster. Nothing. I contacted Carvana and they said to set up an appointment with one of their partners. I chose Firestone. All I need is a new charger I think. Hope Firestone doesn’t try replacing the whole port or something because I’ve been in a rental for almost a month, almost the whole time the other guy’s insurances gave me. Anyone have issues with a home charger like this?
Try a public charger. If it won’t charge it is the car. Press the seller hard to fix this.
FYI, never trust the used car lot safety inspection. I was a mechanic for 8 years and the number of customers who brought me used cars to inspect that actually matched the condition of the used car lot inspection paperwork was ‘round about fucking zero’. ALWAYS get the dealer to do a pre-purchase inspection on a hoist. If the seller refuses this, they are liars and are hiding something.
