Hello, We have a 2020 Leave SVPlus. No problems until last Friday.
We attempted to use a public (Petrocan) fast charger and it reported an error during startup.
We decided to try another non petrocan charger near by. But after driving about 500 meters the car slowed down and an error came up that there was a charging system error and power would be reduced.

We had it towed to a dealership and they have had it for a day and report that they can't find a problem!

Anyone have this experience? Any tips!

TIA!

I had a similar issue with my old 2020 SV about 3 years ago with a PetroCan fast charger that did the same thing. The dealer had to replace the PDU. Not sure the exact reason but the faulty charger was definitely the issue.
 
It could be that you experienced a similar anomaly to what happened to me this month, only worse (in my case, it repeatedly rejected all attempts to charge at L3, and the first attempt to charge on L2, but would charge just fine on L2 otherwise). I plan on having the dealer technician pick up where he left off, a week from Monday.

I would not completely eliminate the possibility of a bad L3 charging station screwing up the CHAdeMO port. (Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!)
