Have an issue perhaps a bit unique but may not be as it may relate to 3.6 to 7.2 kW charging rates --
My Schneider EV2430WS (1st gen) EVSE has provided troublefree charging for my '12 LEAF SL for 5 years (the first gen LEAF has a 3.6 kW charge rate) but now since 'upgrading' to a '15 VW e-Golf (has the 7.2 kW onboard charger), the car charges fine but when I get up the next day, the charger is showing a red 'fault' light --- car charges fully, 40A breaker is NOT tripped, but EVSE is of course is 'off'.
The charger will restart after I reset the breaker but concerned the EVSE may eventually not work at all -- sent a request off to Schneider but won't hear back until they have office hours -- any suggestions perhaps people have seen this when the upgraded their LEAF's (from 1st gen to later ones with 7.2 kW rates) ... the EVSE is rated to handle 7.2 kW and again the car DOES get a full charge.
