    Hi Kevin, I have the 2024 GMC Sierra EV Denali, and I have the GMC Level 2 Power up charger, hardwired, and set up to 19.2 kw, but when plugged, I get a blue blinking light at the truck charge port, and vehicle is slow charging at about 3-4kw an hour, how can I get to fast charge at 18kw per hour? Its not the charger , because I went to a friends charger, and same thing, am no getting the green light at the truck charge port. Thanks for your help!

    • @EV-NoobGMCSierraDenali1
      @EV-NoobGMCSierraDenali1 3 дні тому

      Hello, I'm not sure I can help but will see. I know of no settings that would limit the charge within the vehicle settings when using a level 2 charger wired to 240. The blinking blue means it is connected and waiting for the charger to send power. Meaning that your charger is set on a schedule and won't start charging until that schedule starts. Or if you override that schedule from an app. Have you tried starting the charger from the app? Another thing you can do is to plug the cable in. Wait about 10 seconds, then unplug and plug in again immediately. This should override any charger setting. It may take 20- 40 seconds, but then you would hear a click and lights start flashing and charge begin.

    4:27 Xcel requires one of their electricians to either do the install or inspect the install before they will allow you in program. Also, you really should investigate upping to 60amp so you can charge at 11+ kW. There are ways to do so without full service upgrade. One example is a device from Siemens that can monitor your whole house use and derate the EVSE to lower amp when needed. But at night you should be able to go full charge rate without too many interruptions

    • @EV-NoobGMCSierraDenali1

      @EV-NoobGMCSierraDenali1 I didn't have to do it, so not sure on specifically what you would need to do with Xcel. But their public facing information is clear that you, as customer, are responsible for the 240v wiring. It may take awhile but I'll get a link and add as a reply to this thread

    • @michaelwitkiewicz7052
      @michaelwitkiewicz7052 14 днів тому

      17:37 just to clarify, being plugged in won't mean you're preconditioning on the grid if you're outside the Xcel charging schedule. You'll need to either start the EVSE from the app or do the two rapid plugin trick for the ChargePoint to know to allow power for pre condition. Works fine inside the charging schedule but sucks when it's -25 and you want to leave at 9am like I did on Tuesday...

  • @michaelwitkiewicz7052
    @michaelwitkiewicz7052 14 днів тому

    6:29 with a ChargePoint you don’t need to go to app to do off-schedule charging. Just insert the plug twice in rapid succession and it will drop the schedule limit.

      Well I think if this truck was ice it would still cost around 80 to 90k add in the massive battery , performance (0-60 and power curve) and the ability to power your house and this thing is easily worth 100k. If he keeps the truck long term and uses it a lot instead of just driving it to target and back the resale becomes irrelevant. He can get a warranty for when the rear steering and air suspension go.

      Every EV range rating is going to be based off of slow acceleration, no payload, and no accessories running. 300 real world miles on a truck rated for 440 is really good. GM now uses Ultium batteries, which are more energy dense than every other manufacturer’s lithium based EV batteries.

    Nice video. Although less Blair Witch style would have been nicer. And yes, the Tesla app works better and faster. And if you're on a road trip, you can sign up for their plan for that month and save 25% per kWh. You can cancel at any time. It'll pay for itself after just one charge. And probably after just half a charge on that large battery you have. I have seen over 180kW on some videos on your truck, and I've heard it can even do 200kW if the SoC is low enough.

  • @hieyeque1
    @hieyeque1 2 місяці тому

    Not a big deal, but to clarify. The reason charging is slower at home, is provided your home can provide enough electricity, the limiting factor is the vehicles onboard inverter. When you go to a DC fast charger, those have industrial sized inverters that take the grid's AC and converts it to high power DC.

    • @EV-NoobGMCSierraDenali1
      @EV-NoobGMCSierraDenali1 2 місяці тому

      yes, thanks for clarifying. Again, I am still a noob.:)

    • @junehanzawa5165
      @junehanzawa5165 2 місяці тому

      DC Fast Chargers use much more power so they can go much higher than the lower powered home chargers. V3 Superchargers can provide up to 600amps and use around 400 volts (480V max). While 350kW DC Fast Chargers can provide up to 1,000 volts. The highest home charger is 80amps and limited to 240 volts at the most, but those are only for very large batteries. Most home chargers only use 40amps or less. The same as a clothes dryer, or oven, or large air-conditioners.

    • @hieyeque1
      @hieyeque1 2 місяці тому

      @@junehanzawa5165 You are correct that there are home chargers that can go up to 80 amps. But the limiting factor is still your car. If I plug my Tesla Model 3 RWD in to that 80 amp charger, I'll only get 32 amps as all home chargers are "Level 2" chargers. A Level 1 or 2 charger supplies AC power to the car, that the car then has to convert to DC. The car is responsible for the conversion. At a Tesla SuperCharger, my car will max out at around 172KW because it supplies DC power that bypasses my onboard inverter. Bigger vehicles, with bigger batteries, have larger on-board inverters to cut their home charge times down. A cybertruck has roughly 2x the battery than does my model 3. Thus they typically have an inverter to match, keeping the charge speeds relatively the same.

    • @junehanzawa5165
      @junehanzawa5165 2 місяці тому

      @hieyeque1 Correct. They are also limited to the onboard AC to DC inverter for home charging. But there are such things as home DC to DC chargers (although they cost in the thousands, and chargers do the conversion) but would still be limited to the power provided to a normal home. Those 40 and 50kW chargers are used in some work offices/spaces situations where they install higher 3-phase power than a home's typical 240V.

Havn't seen this in last month. 2.One time, my screen was, not blank, but empty. I had the screen up that splits into 3 different screens and all the data areas was blank. I tried restarting vehicle, turning off screen with no resolution. I have 2 profiles and when I change the profile it worked. Then switched back and it worked. Changing profiles seems to reboot the Android operating system. 3. Had to learn to close the tailgait a little harder. Especially the upper gate. 4 Recently have had some camera Dirty messages. I just read that you may need to run your defrost as this is common on non EV vehicles. The camera in question is the one behind your rear view mirror. Otherwise I have had no issues.
