I went below stated 0% today and while charging back up with my 7kW cable I noticed that at about 13% SoC the current displayed on the charging cable box went from 32Amp (where it had been all along) to 30... then at 16% it went to 28Amp ... then at 17% it went to 27Amp ... then at 18% to 25.5Amp ... at which point I had enough. Evidently the car was throttling Level 2 charging !!
No it wasn't heat. No it wasn't the charging cable. Yes it was the car, which also started predicting a longer and longer time to full charge whose trajectory clearly indicated an anticipation of further throttling. And it displayed a slowdown in the increase of SoC and predicted miles.
Yes it was the car, which after disconnecting the cable, locking the car, and then restarting the session (within a span of 5 minutes) happily started charging at 32 amps again and has not changed that since. I'm now at 52% SoC and the charging has been nicely linear since the restart.
Arg!!
