Charging Issues with Blink Chargers

[ivengo]

I was trying to use a Blink Charger today in a public garage.
Connected everything properly and checked the connection multiple times.
The car is stuck with the blue colored ring around the charge port - the car does not actually start to charge.
The Blink charger shows ready to charge and shows 0kWh the car says.
The car says Ready to Charge. Check Charger Power.
The blue color code around the charge port from what I know means the negotiation between the charger and the car so something prevents the charger to start.
I tried two chargers in the same vicinity - same story.
Called Blink people and they don't see remotely any issues with their chargers.

The car was charging fine today via mobile charger and several superchargers.

Also I have updated to .42 firmware today. The car is base Model S 60, 2013.

Anybody experienced similar issues?

No, I used a Blink charger last night with no issues. I am on .42 as well. You might try other 3rd party chargers and see if they also give you issues.

Make sure all the female connections have no obstructions in them. This happened to me and the lock would not fully engage. Found a little plastic bushing in one of the female contacts. Where it came from, I have no idea.
