Posting in case this helps others.
After a successful EVgo DC fast charge at a Pilot Flying J, I stopped the session early using the myChevrolet app. I drove home with about 45% remaining, but my Level 2 charger would not start charging. The car recognized the plug, flashed blue, then red, then went dark—no chirp and no charging. The home charger showed normal ready status.
I reset the charger and rebooted the infotainment/Charging app, but nothing changed.
OnStar ran a diagnostic and found no vehicle fault.
Late that night (while trying to sleep!) I decided to try restarting the MyChevy app by restarting my phone. The next morning, the car charged normally. A GM specialist told me she would have recommended something similar - force-closing or reinstalling myChevrolet, or restarting the phone, to close the charging session.
This appears to have been a stuck app/session state rather than a hardware failure. I’ll stop future fast-charge sessions at the charger itself.
Has anyone else seen this blue-red-dark sequence after using myChevrolet to stop a session?
