Re: [EVDL] DCP Raptor temp sensor?

[mike willuweit via EV]

I talked to Damon a few years back about getting my DCP Raptor 1200 fixed. He 
referred me to Peter W. Senkowsky. Peter ripped me off and went MIA. From what 
I read on the DIY Facebook page I’m not alone.

Re: [EVDL] EVSE damaging a Leaf

[mike willuweit via EV]

Yes. Happened in Chicago with an AeroVironment EVSE at a Walgreens. Connector 
fused to a BMW i3. Was stuck there for days.

Re: [EVDL] always use plugshare: ChargePoint usage

[mike willuweit via EV]

If you click on the station within the ChargePoint APP you should get the 
station’s details. There you should find a drop down list of “Last Used” 
vehicles at the station. This will list the dates and vehicles of the last 5 
charges. My guess is you will only see your Chevy Volt listed.

Re: [EVDL] After an old DCP tach sensor for a Raptor controller?

Peter is completely unreliable. He went off the rails about 2 years ago.
