Like this?Changing the service is such a big deal I wouldn't even bother asking about the cost (let alone complaining). I would ask an electrician about installing a 208-to-240 step-up transformer between the panel and the charger, though. The transformer itself is probably under $500. If you do look into either option, I'll be interested to hear how it goes.

Interesting that there is no information on the efficiency of this unit.
The car doesn't care about the voltage.
You've definitely got something else going on. A 32A load on #6 wire, 120' away should only have a drop of 3.4V or 1.6% so you are losing a good deal more than that. My thought is that your car is seeing this large drop and limiting your charging. You should definitely have the electrician come by and check it out.So update on my situation:
When I plug in my car, it starts at 6/6 amps out of a total of 32 amps. Around 203-204V.
After a few minutes it gets going and goes to its max of 32/32 amps. The volts drop to around 192-193.
After a few minutes it drops to 16/16 amps at 198 volts where it remains for the rest of the charge.
I cannot get back up to 32 amps.
What the heck is going on? I am unable to charge at the maximum amps for more than a few minutes before it auto drops to 16/16 amps!

It looks like the voltage drops too low, so software limits the current.
I thought you were the OP when I did my numbers, being on the Chargepoint is different. I'd have to know your wire size and amp load on the charge point to tell you if it's where it needs to be. I am fairly positive you won't have damage to your car, but something about that install is not right.The run is about 300-400 feet (I live in a condo and am estimating, I looked again today).
I turned on Tesla app notifications and about every hour I am getting a “charge interrupted” notification.
When I check the app it says 0/16 amps and after a few minutes ramps back up to 16 amps.
Really bizarre. I live in a condo and these are free commercial chargers like ChargePoint. I hope it won’t damage my car.
