What owners wrote
A used chevy volt.it came with a level 1 charger. Basic 110 v takes 8 hours to charge 18kvh battery. This charger was repaired from the looks of it.I used it for a few times and it burnt. Luckily it was not near any flame able material, or it may have caused fire.
Chevy volt was driven into the garage with 10 miles left on the battery, the car was plugged into the electric charger for over night charge. In the morning in the attempt to turn on the car a message appeared stating. "not able to charge" "battery range 0 miles" "charging override/interrupt occurred" my husband came and checked out the car we plugged into our 110 volt charge to make sure that it wasn't our charging system. Waited several hours still no charge.
