Same guy here who posted the thread about the car lowering its charging rate to 32 amps on my 240v outlet upstate. Now here's a new and more problematic one:
During the week I charge at a parking garage in the city. They installed a 120v/12amp plug for me. All week it worked fine, charging at the full 12. Then yesterday it slowed down to 5amps. And what its showing is 5/5, meaning its only trying to charge at 5 amps. I took a trip today and the valet plugged it back in, and again it is charging at 5/5 amps. So it has "memorized" the lower setting and is not trying to charge at a higher rate.
I assume it lowered the rate because of some kind of power surge or brownout something?
If this continues to happen, it is an unworkable situation for me. I can't be continually visiting the garage to reset the charger back to the full 12/12. (Which itself is very slow but ok for me because I mainly use the car on the weekends and can charge all week.). So a couple questions:
First, any idea what might be wrong? Am I right that it probably happened due to a brownout or something?
And secondly, is there a way to reset it to a higher attempted amperage without having to visit the car every time? Ie, with the App?
Any other thoughts for me?
This whole "memorizing" of the charging rate at a given location isn't doing me any favors at the moment.
