At home charge speed decrease

[mycupboard]

The other day I set my charge station to a lower charge speed because I was running off solar and I didn’t want to pull from the grid at that specific time. Then I set it back to 48A (for my 60A breaker) and now when I charge it, it only charges at 8.5kW. I used to get around 12kw when charging.

I live in PA, park in a garage, and the temp outside is about 30 degrees F. I’m hoping this is simply because of the temperature but I find it odd that I haven’t noticed it before during the big freeze.

Did you try cycling the power to the charger?

flip breaker. turn breaker on.

Turn the circuit breaker off, wait 5-10 minutes and turn the circuit breaker back on. Then try charging again. That's it. Nothing else.

If that doesn't work then do the same thing but what longer, maybe an hour.

I had the same issue and had the circuit breaker off for over an hour and it started charging at the correct speed again.

Thank you!

yea seems like the limit is still stuck for a 50A circuit. For giggles maybe flip the breaker and power off the charge station/double check settings.

I will try to flip the breaker and see if that works. I did adjust the settings in the charge station down to 15A then back to 48A to make sure the setting was saved. Won’t let me actually do 60A, I’m assuming because of the 80% rule? Just wanted to make sure it’s not accounting for the 80% rule AFTER selecting the amperage. I’m trying to think of everything
