All the road constriction is now over with in Garnerville, NV and all roads to this charger are now clear. This charger has been updated as it now works with my Energica. Screen still has an issue so I cannot check the version number, but the charger works perfectly on my Energica Experia. Just like all the others with the 0.22 FW. 15 seconds of initiation and starts right up--first try, every time.


BTW, this fast charger is free to use. Paid for by the city of Garnervile, NV. Also a free J-plug right next to it. And several others in the area. A very pro-EV town.


From there, a nice ride around Lake Tahoe today.

I checked out the ChargePoint CPE250s in Mojave and Brady’s (Inyokern) and found that both locations have been upgraded and will charge my ‘22 Eva Ribelle.  Hopefully the incompatibility problem with ChargePoint is now behind us.  I’m looking forward to again having expanded riding territory once the current heat wave in California is over.

I am starting to believe they have updated them all.


Has anybody found a CP CCS FC that did NOT work on an Energica in the last week or so?


All the ones I checked in the last couple of weeks worked perfectly with either of my Energicas. Including some that said they still had the old 0.18 version. I need to recheck those later to see if they updated the version number. Not that it makes any difference as they are working with our bikes and that is all that counts. Exactly 15 seconds of initiation and then the charge starts.

On the way back here to Reno today, I stopped at Cisco Grove, CA just to check the CP version number. This is the one that worked when it said it still had the 0.18 FW the first day I went up I-80 in CA checking CP fast chargers.


It now says it has 0.22 FW. So the version number gets updated last. So this means even if there are still some that say it has the old 0.18 FW, the only way you will know if it will work is to try it. But by now, I assume even all the version numbers are updated to 0.22.

Excellent news in Denver. I have been having 100% success charging at Chargepoints around me that two weeks ago did not work. They have totally different UIs now. Ive got 2 more I need to try in the next few days but im optimistic!

By now, I doubt you will find any Chargepoints that still have the old version. They sure now work well with our Energicas. Exactly 15 seconds of initiation and charging starts every time, first try, on every CP I tried in the last month. And I have tried many.


I wish all the others would work as well as Chargepoints now do.


Now I see something going on with EV-Go. Looks like many of their chargers are in "maintenance mode" and will not work for anybody.  I think they are replacing them with new units, but many have been off-line for many months already.


If both these issues happened at the same time, we would have had a very big issue as ChargePoint and EV-GO are the two companies with the most CCS  fast chargers in the USA.

Well, I did go to Conifer today to try the Charge point there.. nope. But good news, the EVGo at Littleton and Broadway worked the 2nd time I tried. Im starting to think I can travel on this thing!

I see your failed check-in here.


By any chance did you check the model and FW number?  Those Chargepoint CCS chargers do not look like anything I have ever seen anywhere. Or do they all look like that in Colorado?

But I did check in. And took a picture of the ver. It's too big to post. I'll make it smaller.
