So far, working as expected. Would like a refresh option to update current charging state. At the moment, an app restart is needed for that. Additionally, there may be times a charger is faulty, but users wouldn't know, since the app will just say that its available. I had reported a faulty charger, and a car later plugged in, and left. The app still showed the charger as available. This is still a useful app to get an idea of Volta charger availability, if you're nearby.
I love the concept, and it's a great service. There aren't many stations though. It would be great to have a cluster of these at every shopping center and grocery store.
You can't beat free! these are #2 chargers however the company allows 2 hours of free charging. I only wish there were more locations available. Right now it seems Giant supermarkets have them here in Philly.
This was a fast charge and free for 30 minutes, thank you Volta!
Worthless app. This app does not allow me to track usage doesn't tell me how fast I am charging, how much I have charged doesn't tell me when I am done doesn't alert me to when a station is available. What does plugged in, unavailable mean. Charge status in app differs than website. I don't even need this app to use their stations. they claim there's a 2hour limit if you go past 2 hours well I'm still charging what is the whole point of this app. have you guys looked at charge point's app.
Equipment is new, easy to hook up and large painted parking spaces are easy to find.
It is convenient way to charge while shopping.
Great to get a little juice when your shopping or watching a movie. wish there were 2 more. 2 fills up fast
Is not up to date with charger locations. Went to Amazon fresh, charger not listed, unable to charge. Useless.
Truly free charging. Helpful when traveling and not able to charge at home.
At work it started reporting wrong status on the stations, it says it's free but actually is not. Tried to report it through the app and keep getting errors. Also the map works terribly, sometimes it locates the same station in a different state when zoomed in. It's ridiculous that they delivered an app so faulty.
Volta is the best hassle free charging option around my house, plus it is free for charging while shopping. Paid DC charger near by was not working properly and the Volta DC charger saved the day with a simple session starting click on the app. Their chargers also look very nice with big screens, unlike some others tiny screens, hard to find chargers. Overall best option around, plus it is free for a quick top up while shopping.
App gives you inaccurate charging station statuses, and a broken reporting system that only displays 'Error' upon submission. Like a previous reviewer said, don't plan your trips around these chargers being available, especially if you're counting on the app to display up-to-date station availability.
Constantly uses Internet and by statistics the biggest data eater despite it needs only for charging, but it tracks all the time. Not sure if I need it, since it makes a quarter of all my internet traffic and I have to pay for that. So basically Volta charging isn't free as it claims because of completely ineffective use of Internet traffic. Is it so hard to stop monitoring when it is not in use? Sorry, guys, but you did very lousy work programming this app. Wish to give you 0 stars.
Unable to see what im typing in a support request in the app since the keyboard covers the text field and no scrolling is allowed. Its also not possible to share a picture of a broken station with Volta so they can send the correct parts out with a tech to repair it.
New app but it still is not accurate with reporting open stations. It tells you a location has open stations even though you can see all the plugs being used by cars. I guess only Chargepoint is capable of having a decent network. Sad for us.
Totally useless app, absolutely un-intuitive. Search is broken, cannot send feedback from app- results in null pointer... Doesnt show location of chargers even when zooming in the map to place where I know the charger is.
Not as good as it should be. I had previously downloaded the Volta app. When I parked at an open Volta charger, the sign said that I should check in with the app, but there wasn't a menu item that allowed me to check in. I went ahead and plugged in my Tesla, but it wasn't getting any electricity. Then I moved my car to a different charger. A check in screen had appeared, but the charger was out of service. Finally, at a third charger, I got the check in screen and a working charger.
How do you even use this? I cannot select a charger to start charging. I click on charger #1 and 2 and it does nothing.
The app works well but the company is very slow in repairing their chargers. Of the 2 chargers in my immediate area, 1 has been broken for months, so it's basically useless to have 1 free charger that's always used and the other one is always broken.
Haven't been able to get my model Y charging after the last app update. App doesn't let me choose the stall I'm in to begin charging
App updated with new location. Everything works great!
Really nice to get some charge at a local mall while shopping. some free power is really great. it has had me shopping at the mall vs other options and yes, I have spent too much $$ at the mall! Works great. one of the local mall Volta power stations was charging slow but I have had good luck with the others.
Free charging for your electric car. What could be better. We use this all the time. Only downside is that it's can be wrong at showing which stations are available or not.
pretty cool app. best charging stations I've ever used
This is the perfect place to charge your car for free while you watch a movie, grab a bite at Jack in the Box, or stroll less than a quarter mile to Ernie's Diner. I plan to make a habit of coming here on weekdays during my lunch break from the chemical plant.
I would add the ability for users to update issues with charging stations
Great app if u have a electrical car and it's free to change for 2hours!
Chargers always seem to have an "unknown" status in the app.
the app crashes so much it seems like they don't want to take money from their customers. I hope their investors want to keep pumping in money so they can never figure out how to take money from customers.
