I actually have a Volt and 500e. The 120V was never an issue.....there are 2 120v chargers already with the car so I wasnt particularly concerned with getting more 120v charging. 240V was all I wanted and now I finally have it after more than 3 years of having a EV. Cant thank you guys for super...
And that worked! Now charging at 240 on both cars! Really....thank you wmcbrine and jjeff!
A quick rewire and things are working as they should. Baffled how they managed to screw that up! And so glad it was an easy fix.
Thank you again very much!
Yes the back does say till 240 50hz. Its the first thing we checked when the car was only getting 120.
Thanks so much for the quick turn around. Going to re wire it right now and see what happens!

Well the 14-50 was installed (by a electrician) right before connecting the EVSE. Measured the voltage coming out and it was showing 240v (took a pic as well). I can tell its charging at 120 because the Fiat has a display showing what V its charging at. The Volt, I can tell based on time (...
Actually ordered one from zencar after finding this thread. Ordered J1772 + 16A evse + 10m + 14-50 plug.
Plugged it into 240V plug today and into both my volt and 500e and both would charge at 120V only. Any insight as to why that would be?
