I tried to charge my MS from a J1772 this weekend--for the first time ever--and failed miserably. Was this my fault, or was there a problem with the charger?
I was using the Chargepoint chargers in the Aqua garage in downtown Chicago. No problem unlocking them with the Chargepoint keyfob thingy. I connected the adaptor to the charger, and then plugged this combination into the car.
When I made the connection, the car would charge for about half a second. Then the port's green light would go dark. The charger spat out an error message "line voltage low, return cable to charger" or something like that. I tried again on a different charger and got the same behavior.
It *looks* to me like the problem is in the chargers, but I've never done this before and so am not willing to rule out my own stupidity. Anybody have thoughts? Thanks.
