So, I found the thread, but accidentally closed my browser before I could copy the link
and I'm too lazy to go back and find it
Basically, there's a handful of folks buying Volts who do not understand how electricity works. They plug their Volt into a house with old(er) wiring without first consulting a qualified electrician. Some even think that by simply changing out their current 15Amp circuit breaker to a 30Amp or (for the love of God) 60Amp breaker they can cut their charge time in half (or by one-quarter) on a 110V socket
I believe there may have been a faulty issue with the first handful of charging stations, but it sounds like Chevrolet has improved the design considerably.
The 120V charging station comes with a 20-foot charging cord. To save space, you can wrap this cord around the charging station as shown in this photo
when not in use:
People were only pulling off however much cord they needed to reach their car and leaving the rest wrapped around the charging station. Anyone who understands high-voltage applications knows that running 12Amps (that's the max amperage that the station is suppose to pull) of current through any size wire for a long duration will cause heat. If you don't allow the heat to dissipate (you know, by coiling the excess wire around the station) the heat will just continue to build up.
I have a feeling this is a bigger issue of user error than anything else
