I'll just comment that my Blink has never failed to charge my car, ever. With network, without network, never has made a difference.

If you look up under the LCD display, you should see the MicroSD card tucked into its slot. As long as the Blink is powered off, you can just push on the card to eject it.Brightonuk said:Where is the SD card located?
Ditto here in about 3-1/2 months of use...it's never failed to charge, but has always had problems with (spontaneous) reboots, failures to upload charge data to the mothership, backlight "stuck on" wireless connectivity, etc.TomT said:Same here in almost 8 months...

You need to contact the manufacturer; sounds like you have a freakishly almost-working unit that they might want to show off or something. I'm keeping a diary of the Blink's hiccups, and about half of them have the addendum, "car failed to charge; power-cycled Blink"thankyouOB said:as far as charging goes, the blink is solid as a rock.
i get more glitches from the 120-volt stinger.
as far as networking and data collection, the blink is an adventure. There, I feel like Lewis and Clark.

you made a deal to get a free charger. stick to it.
This has never happened to me yet (knock on wood) in 6 months of charging. My Blink has been dead-nuts reliable. Maybe I just got lucky, but it has never failed to charge the car overnight, and has only been power-cycled once on the advice of Blink support when it didn't seem to be displaying the charging totals correctly. It has always been hard-wired to my router, though--I never tried using the wireless network connection after hearing about the problems people were having with that.Ingineer said:The main problem is they wake up in the morning and it has simply failed to do it's simple job of giving the car AC power.
Besides the requirement for the EV Project data collection, connectivity lets you to track power usage on the Blink website and use the Blink smartphone app. It also allows you to configure, and control the Blink directly from your PC or phone at home.CWO4Mann said:...
