I use the two charge timers with my 2019 Nissan Leaf SV Plus. They are set up so that the charge is complete at a certain time each morning. In conjunction with the timers, I have turned on the “Charge Timer only at Home” feature.
Last week, I arrived at a distant location (Straudsburg, PA) only to discover that the CHAdeMO charger there was not working, so I went to the nearby Level-2 J1772 chargers. I connected the car and walked off for a meal only to receive a text from the vendor that my car was finished charging. I returned immediately and discovered that the car had abruptly stopped charging. I tried using the adjacent J1772: it started charging and then stopped after a few minutes. After much consternation and experimentation at other chargers I thought to push the timer cancel button, and the car charged correctly. I have been able to reproduce this problem at 5 different Level-2 chargers in 3 states.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? I did not suspect that it was a timer problem because the car begins charging as soon as I connect it to the EVSE. It does not show the “I’m going to wait for the timer” indication on the charging indicator lights. I contacted Nissan and they suggested that I take it to a dealer, which I suspect will be a waste of time.
Any ideas appreciated. For now, I simply know to press the timer cancel button.
