JdeMO use with new ChargePoint and Electrify America station

[TonyWilliams]

We have a JdeMO customer who can't make the newest ChargePoint charger work. NOT the "Veefil" unit, but the brand new one (August 2019). Can somebody drive down to the ChargePoint headquarters in Campbelll, California USA and try it out? Also, I'd like to also confirm the Electrify America units.

Here's one of the first ChargePoint units. They are rated at some weird value, like 156 kW, or 254kW. https://www.plugshare.com/location/199295

That's the same model which is in UCSD's Osler lane car park.

Awesome! Did you JdeMO equipped car charge there?

I have used JdeMO at the ChargePoint HQ on the new charger. I charged for 5 minutes to check the amperage output. It ramped up to 140 amps and plateaued there. This was on 12/21/2018.

The new charger type has also been installed at ChargePoint's Corridor site in Laytonville.

I will also be passing by the Electrify America site in Novato, CA but their app says the whole site is down. I will probably stop by for a look anyway, but not hopeful on charging there.

An EA station opened at the Empire Center in Burbank, which I frequent. Been meaning to give it a try. I'll report back if I do.

Yes, I use it regularly without problems - it's posted max charge rate is 65 kW

I'm said driver. I have Jdemo installed 1/19, works on many other Chademo locations/brands.
At this location (141 Winthrop Ave Lawrence, MA), Chargepoint app says 50kW. If someone's able to test this location & report Jdemo install date, that would be most helpful. Thanks for all the replys so far!

Finally had a chance to use an Electrify America station. It worked great.

I plugged in with a little over 50% in the battery, it started charging at a rate of 46kW, then tapered as expected. I really liked the EA interface, it was very easy to use.

Magically it worked! No clue if maintenance was done. I did call Chargepoint.
Sequence may matter: yank Chademo plug out, from station, firmly insert into Jdemo, then put phone on station to activate session.
Can't figure out how to include pic:
