Possible Causes

Active schedule in Chevrolet charger app, Utility demand response program enabled, Incorrect time or timezone on charger, Stuck delay timer in firmware

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: This is a configuration issue, not an electrical hazard.

  • Step 1 – Check charger schedule: Open the Chevrolet EV or charger app and verify that no delayed charging schedule is active. Disable any schedules and test again.
  • Step 2 – Verify vehicle schedule: Many Chevrolet EVs have their own charge scheduling. Disable the vehicle’s schedule to test immediate charging.
  • Step 3 – Confirm time settings: Ensure the charger’s date, time, and timezone are correct in the app or on the display.
  • Step 4 – Disable demand response: If enrolled in a utility program, temporarily opt out or disable demand response in the app to see if charging resumes.
  • Step 5 – Power reset: Turn OFF the breaker for 2 minutes, then turn it back ON to clear any stuck timers.
