I have a Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector which I've been using for over 2 years now. I've been using it over a year using a Lectron Tesla to J1772 adapter. I started having an issue with it about a month ago. It was the 40A version, and I was thinking that it had finally gone kaput because I was using it with a 48A setup. I replaced it with a newer "max 48A" version. Anyway, that does not appear to have fixed the issue. Here's what I'm seeing -
- When I charge my 2017 Model S, I have absolutely no issues using my wall connector. I get 48A and it "happily" charges my Tesla without any issues.
- When I plug in my 2021 Volkswagen ID.4, using the new Lectron adapter described above, the wall connector starts charging for a couple of seconds (cool green lights cycle), then clicks loudly, flashes a blue light for a second, then starts charging (green lights cycle) for a few more seconds. Then, the cycle repeats...over and over again if I let it. My car does charge, but VERY SLOWLY. Like, what used to take 2-3 hours to get charged, now takes 12 hrs plus.
Any ideas? Could this be the ID.4, or has something gone wrong with the charger? What would allow the Tesla to charge fine and the ID.4 only to have this issue?
