On this point, does the charge point app only show public chargers? Id imagine a hotel or any establishment would be able to make a note if the charger is available to anyone or just their customers

That’s a good point, and that’s exactly why I’m asking. My original plan was to get an ev after purchasing a house in roughly a year, but my current car has kicked the bucket. There’s plenty of fast chargers nearby that would work for me, especially since I drive so little (less than 300 miles a month). I realized that this hotel has a charger after I already made the ev decision, and thought it would be convenient since I won’t be charging too often. Plus, after living next door to the hotel for years, I’ve never seen it used(which is why I didn’t know it existed) , with charge point showing it’s only used like once or twice a week. I’ll probably just end up using this as a supplemental charger, and mostly charge at the fast stations a bit farther away.

Yeah, I think thats the protocol for the fast chargers. Stay with/near the car and leave as soon as its done. Thanks for sharing!

I was thinking about that, and it seems this is a very low usage charger. Chargepoint app shows its last use was 5 days ago. As for low volume times, that makes sense… I’ll probably just charge in the morning and have it gone before their check in time. Maybe I could even leave a note on the dash for them to call me if they want me to move it

Hmm I didn’t notice that at first look. I’m not sure if what direction of the broken circle matters, or if it’s based on what side its on. Heck it could be that the second one just got printed upside down. So I can’t say for sure if they are actually opposite or not. If you have a multimeter, you can test it to be sure

Voltage is the same, and it provides enough amps, however if you see the little circle symbols (3 circles connected with lines, 2 are labeled + or -) the polarity is reversed, meaning it wont work.

Ah, yeah crashes are all on VSH maps so that explains it. Thanks!

That’s unfortunate :/ yeah mine is showing it’s age, and the headphone jack doesn’t work properly anymore. But it was a great phone while it lasted. Thinking about moving to the oneplus n30 or the moto 5g stylus

I’m running lineage OS on my moto one 5g ace. Main reason was to upgrade it to the most recent version of android, since it wasn’t getting any updates beyond 11. No drawbacks here, haven’t run into any bugs or anything. But I’m also not a power user or anything, just trying to extend the life of my phone

If you’re happy with your prints, then no need to calibrate IMO. I think calibration is only necessary when you see a problem or want the best possible prints you can get. But personally, I don’t care too much if a print isn’t perfect, as long as it works
