Update 01/13/2017
A replacement unit arrived and it took 5 minutes to install/setup/start charging. Still annoyed that I spent hours questioning my setup and talking to tech support to figure out that the previous charger was DOA. Taking off one star for questionable initial quality and potential longevity issues. I’ll update as time progresses.
I installed the charger in less than 30 minutes. The install was easy and intuitive. First, I spent 30 minutes unsuccessfully trying to connect it to my wireless network via the app and then another hour with tech support trying to resolve this issue. After changing countless configurations on my home Wi-Fi, they agreed that my unit may have a damaged wireless module. With a replacement unit on its way, I figured I’ll use the busted Chargepoint without the scheduling/monitoring option. Wrong again, it won’t charge and the charging wire leads don’t have any current going to them. I’ll update my review once I receive a replacement, but thus far, I am not impressed with the quality and a simple install turned into a wasted day.

I like everything about the product- the look, the app, the capabilities- but it is quite a bit more expensive than other chargers on the market. If it is out of the way, it doesn’t need to be pretty (but this one is).

The charging system works great but they have a glitch in the scheduling part of the software that does not allow a person to schedule a charge during a certain period of time between weekend and weekday. The fix is to allow the user to schedule the on-off periods for each day and not break it only between weekday and weekend.

So usually I dont write nay reviews and there are no reviews to my name. I had such a bad experience with Chargepoint customer support that I thought, I should leave one. I know the experience differs greatly from person to person but mine was just horrendous.
So here it goes. I am newbie to EV so I am shopping around for EV car chargers for home. I had zeroed in on 2 products.
1. Chargepoint
2. av turbo cord
I was going to buy Chargepoint because of its capability in scheduling. I called up the sales customer care number and I was asked to call a different number because they handle only commercial sales. So I called up another number and I got through to a rep. I gave my name stated what I wanted and then she went silent and hung up. I called again giving the benefit of doubt to the network connection, even though I had full signal. I got through to a rep again and told him what I was looking for. He was like go to amazon and pick your choice yourself. I was like err..I can do that but I have some questions. I wanted to buy the 16A bundle but my electrical work has been predone for 50A. Wanted to know if I can use the 16A on the 50A. The rep was like you have to figure it out yourself. I was like, can you tell me if your 16A product can be used on a 50A socket. He said I cannot make any recommendations, please employ an electrician and go back to amazon to choose your bundle. At this point I was like why cant you make recommendations on your own product compatibility? He said repeatedly to go on to amazon and choose configuration, where as my question was about the configuration in itself. I asked him, being industry leader in EV charging they are not able to help me choose my charger and point me directly. He hung up.
I called the AV turbo cord next to see if they can help me out. The person was really polite answered all my questions. Explained about the federal rebate that I can get.
I just wish charge point was a little more courteous in how they handled the call.
The one star is not for their product but for the customer service.
