Voltage drop

[Lonc]

We have just arrived in Corfu, Greece, having driven from our house in southern france. As we knew there are no Tesla super chargers on the island, so are charging on a 13amp socket at our villa.

The Tesla y seems to not like it if the supply voltage fluctuates too much or drops below 200 volts.

My question is, what voltage should the y continue to charge at?

Just love our y, which was one of the first to deliver in the UK

It's not voltage, it's too quick a drop or too much fluctuation. Are you charging at 13A? If so, try 10A.

I charge on a 208V line. It's a 300 ft run of 6 ga copper. I max it out at 32A (can charge up to 40A), which drops the voltage to 192V. If I charge at a higher current, the car kicks down to 30A.

Many thanks. I’ll try 10 amps. Richard
