So I have read a few people who have had problems charging their car. Friday I came home from a long trip with 5 miles to spare - nothing new, nothing out of the ordinary, no warning lights on the dash, no nothing.
Plugged in, light came on, EVSE clicked, car clicked on to charge. It about 5 seconds the car shut off charging like the battery was full (only one light was blinking - I was low!). I tried multiple times, waited some time to let the car rest - no dice. I reset the breakers and even tried my wife's 240 voltec - no dice (my AV unit charged her volt, so its the car not the EVSE). Even my portable EVSE (unmodded), didn't work.
Needless to say I have to take my car into the dealership on Monday. The leaf person there was completely dumbfounded. Worst yet - with 5 miles I can't make it the 20 miles to the dealership, so it will be towed - poor car.
Anyways - I will give people updates on what they figure out the problem is. I have not had a chance to try CHAdeMO since the closest charger is near the dealership. I had the battery gauge update (p1337?) done in June, so that is non-issue. No other mods have been done (no bursa charger or anything). Wish me luck with good news when I take it in on Monday!
