Was charging my MY Long Range at my sisters house over the holidays. On the last day I used my mobile charger using the 14-30 adapter, and plugged into her dryer outlet. Everything seemed fine and it began charging right away. To be sure, i checked the app and it Har automatically adjusted the amps max to 24A.
I then stopped the charging from the app because I wanted to use Scheduled Charging so that it would be preconditioned by the time we hit the road (it was cold out).
So, before i went to bed, battery was around 30% and scheduled for 100% by 9am. But when I woke up, I saw an alert on my phone saying that charging stopped and to go check the car. At the car the battery actually charged all the way up to 88%. But the mobile connector was not lit up anymore. I thought no big deal, the fuse maybe tripped. But the fuse was blown! See pic.
Any ideas why this might’ve happened? And what can i do to prevent it in the future? I hope it’s just a dryer fuse that needs replacing, but from the looks of the fuse maybe some wiring also got burned in the walls?
Also, it’s pretty embarrassing!
