Its so annoying that it doesn't tend the 12v when the EVSE is plugged in! Why did they do that? Can I tend the 12v manually with a tender while it is L1 charging?
Is that what the 2015 manual says? My 2017 manual section EV-5 "CHARGING THE 12V battery" has three sections: the first says:
The 12-volt battery is charged automatically using electricity stored in the Li-ion battery.
...
3. When the 12-volt battery is being charged, the charge status indicator light on the instrument panel flashes (except when charging the Li-ion
battery or the power switch is in the READY to drive position).
...which, to me, implies that there is a time when both the 12v and Li-Ion batteries are charging (because they are telling the owner that in that particular instance, the dashboard lights will not tell you that the 12v battery is charging).
The second section of EV-5 "While the vehicle is driven" says that the 12v is charged while READY or ON, except when in ACC or transmission in neutral.; but I don't think that is meant to say that the vehicle _only_ charges when READY/ON.
