"Specifically to those who use the EV charging stations, and even more specifically those with Tesla's--
During our recent visits with ChargePoint, it has come to our attention that the breaker has been tripped each time anyone preps their battery for supercharging, as the chargers are not set up for supercharging speeds.
Please be sure not to prep your vehicle for supercharging when using our chargers, as our chargers do not have the capacity to charge that quickly, and it will trip the breaker each time you finish charging, putting it out of service to charge until it's reset.
We greatly appreciate your help and patience with the charging stations."
The above emailing was sent out to everyone in my apartment building. Two questions:
1. Is it even possible to prep a vehicle for supercharging at a non-supercharger? I thought it only conditioned the battery when you enter a supercharger in the navigation. Is there a way to manually prep for supercharging?
2. Is there any legitimacy to the statement that preparing for supercharging at a non-supercharger would trip a breaker? I don't see how preconditioning a battery would affect how much juice it tries to draw. For extra confusion, they stated it happens after it finishes charging.
I wanted to get some feedback from the community before I call B.S. and explain to the association that ChargePoint probably needs to fix their equipment and it has nothing to do with Tesla owners conditioning batteries for supercharging.
