My charging experience with my 2023 EUV

[May_K]

The other day, I was charging my 2023 EUV Premier at home using a Level 1 charger set to 10 amps. I noticed something strange: when I adjusted the charge level, the estimated time to complete the charge changed color. It turned red once I set it to around 10%, indicating that the estimated time was between 90-100%. If I kept the charge level at 85% or below, the time stayed in white.

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if it’s something to be concerned about. My car is parked in the garage, connected to a 120V GFCI outlet, and the dashboard shows a charging rate of about 1.5 kW. Thankfully, there haven't been any other signs of issues, but it did catch my attention.

Are you using utility rate charging or any charge scheduling options?

I'm not using utility rate charging or any scheduling options right now, just a standard Level 1 charge. Do you think those features would help with the charging time or estimated completion?

No. Just charge at night for a better rate

You can force immediate charging by unplugging and replugging the charging cable within 5 seconds.

I cannot imagine using a Level 1 120v charger! Soooooo slooow.

I would STRONGLY recommend having a Level 2 (240v) charger installed. So much faster. Definitely worth it... ALWAYS fully charges from zip to fully charged overnight (in my case, using it at 48amps, charging starting at midnight - favorable utility rates - gets fully done no later than 6:00AM).

Okay, thanks
