MikeD said:Colby: Do you have any specifics about the actual threshold temperature values detected by the Fit EV's inlet temperature sensor that you mention in your last post?
Did the Ecotality spokesperson deny that any of their plug connectors of any of their installed EVSE's have been replaced due to a defect that was causing excessive temperatures during charging?
The threshold temperature was right around 75 degrees C. The J1772 spec says that the connection should not exceed 50C above ambient, which is about 75C.
I didn't speak directly with the Ecotality spokesperson. They contacted Plugincars.com about another article and the editor mentioned my issues and Ecotality gave that response. I don't think they are purposely giving out false information. More likely, the rep was misinformed or there is a separate issue going on with other Fit EVs (but I haven't heard of one).
Has Ecotality replaced any of their connectors that you know of? (obviously besides Tony's)
