I am interested in this Mark, because of the last portion regarding DC quick charging. I have not been able to get my 2016 Spark LT2 to charge on EVGO CCS chargers. I have tried them at 5 different locations and either get no response or when it seems to have started, get an error message from the EVSE telling me that charging was stopped by the car. I took it back to the dealership 3 times before I gave up on them. Chargepoint works, but there aren't any of them available where I drive, only EVGO, so I have been very limited on where I can travel. I think it is a software issue with the car, but the dealer basically made it my problem when they couldn't find the cause. Michael B
