I personally avoid WalMart whenever possible. Not a fan of their corporate practices. I do use their CCS chargers from time to time since they tend to be the only CCS charger around that works in a given area. Even then, it’s only when I HAVE to get a fast charge.
When I need a charge, I will not be picky about where I get it. But I am really talking about Electrify America Chargers, regardless of their location.
Anyway, the point was that at least for a while, if we should or should not plug in first depended on the location. But now we know to try both ways, if they still have not updated their instructions with the new firmware updates.
BTW, I leaned yesterday that these chargers can get very complicated with their FW changes. The various EV companies, including Energica, have to deal with the charging companies firmware changes often. A fix for one vehicle can cause another make to malfunction, such as main fuses blowing all over Europe by one CCS charging company that would start the charge on Energica at way too many KWs for a few seconds and blow main battery fuses, which led to Energica having a way to replace the fuse easily in the 21.5 KWH battery.
