Why won't my EV charging session start?

Many non-Tesla owners on road trips described sessions that fail, drop after a few minutes, or only stick on the second or third try. Reports came from EA, ChargePoint, EVgo and Blink stalls, and the errors were often vague. Several found that a neighboring stall or a different network worked, and Bolt owners often saw "Unable to Charge" or a stall stuck on "initiating."

Others never got as far as plugging in successfully: apps looped back to wallet setup, hung on authenticating, or showed "Charging is delayed" after payment. A separate group saw "Charging unsuccessful" at home and everywhere else. Several Hyundai and Genesis owners had dealers trace it to a failed ICCU, so when nothing works anywhere, the car is the likelier culprit.
