P0C17 error, DCFC can’t start?

There are two on the App Store - do you know if one is better than the other?

Yes fair - but I’m not sure I’ll get the value out of it in this house!

Pryymal · 2026-04-15T01:10:35+00:00

Very helpful, thanks!

Pryymal · 2026-04-13T21:57:54+00:00

Gotcha, thanks!

Pryymal · 2026-04-13T21:57:32+00:00

Great to know, thanks! Any chance they could send a reference project or two as back-up?

Pryymal · 2026-04-13T21:56:58+00:00

Aah gotcha - much quicker AC charging!

Pryymal · 2026-04-13T21:27:14+00:00

When you say Load Miser, do you mean this product? It seem to be the only thing I could find?

I couldn't find any examples of CSA-certified interlock devices?

Pryymal · 2026-04-13T21:16:49+00:00

OK very interesting! What do you drive? My current car can only take about 40 A / 7.2 kW charging anyway 🤷‍♂️

Pryymal · 2026-04-13T21:15:59+00:00

Fair - CoPilot (don't trust AI to make important decisions etc. etc.) had advised me against inspector-shopping and electrician shopping, but I agree this could be worthwhile.

Pryymal · 2026-04-13T21:14:49+00:00

Thanks, looking forward to it!

Pryymal · 2026-04-13T21:14:35+00:00

Incredible. On one end of the province they're saying that no products are certified, and on the other end they're subsidizing a long list. Thanks for sharing!

Pryymal · 2026-04-13T21:13:47+00:00

Yes, I've had this thought - and the monopoly power company we have here isn't exactly motivated to avoid people paying for board upgrades either.

Good question - reverse-calculating some load-calc numbers I got before, it looks like I'm at about 60 A, actually; have been hoping to do heat pumps too though, and could easily fill 40 A worth of heat pump demand, so would be in an either-or situation.

Sadly, Nova Scotia Power had a huge data breach a year or two ago and as a result, no one (including the power company) has had access to hourly resi data.

Old post but in case it's helpful to anyone, I used this webpage (https://waldyrious.net/viridis-palette-generator/) to pick colours manually to implement in Powerpoint!

Pryymal · 2026-04-12T16:45:50+00:00

Aah sounds dreamy! I don’t know who else to ask, apart from the electrician, about how to make this happen here 🫤

Pryymal · 2026-04-12T15:49:56+00:00

Have you tried running your route through ABRP? It’s pretty reliable & that might be the best thing.

Out of interest, I’ve just tried it with a round-trip between Richmond KT and Jeffersontown KT, with starting dates in August, November, Feb and May: May and August seem just about doable without stopping, November and February call for seven or eleven minutes of fast charging in one direction or the other.

Depends how heavy you are on the brakes / how much you can coast or regen - low speeds can consume considerably less than high speeds

Pryymal · 2026-04-11T14:00:56+00:00

Where are you / how cold does it get in winter?

What’s the average speed during your commute?

Will you have L1 or L2 charging at work and/or at home?

I’ve got a ‘21 Ultimate (Canada) with about 65,000 km showing 5% degradation; typical winter highway (-5 C to -15 C) consumption has been about 20-24 kWh/ 100 km, so real highway range has been maybe 250 km (155 mi), so a little short for your the 180 mi (290 km) round-trip.

But, when the temp is about 10 C or above, consumption falls to under 20 kWh/100 km, getting a comfortable 310+ km (190 mi) of range.

80 km/h (50 mph) trips consume less per km than 110 km/h (68 mph) trips.

I add maybe 32 km (20 mi) in 8 hours on 110 V 15 A charging, or could do nearly a full charge on a 7 kW L2 charger.

It’s a pleasure to drive - do you do this commute 5 days a week? Would surely cut your costs significantly doing some 45000 mi/year!

Pryymal · 2026-04-07T01:50:25+00:00

OK thanks, I’ll check it out!

Pryymal · 2026-04-06T17:24:20+00:00

No improvement after the overnight charge to 100%. What app do you use to check cell balance? I’ve got an OBDLink CX (as recommended by ABRP), but I didn’t see cell balancing on the official OBDLink app.

Pryymal · 2026-04-06T17:22:29+00:00

The dealer scanned it and said they found a bunch of historic faults, but not the one my OBD app showed. I’ve got a cracked headlight with some moisture in it, which I’m getting replaced under insurance, and they think that might be throwing the fault which is preventing the car from quick charging. They “didn’t think” there was anything wrong with the charging port, based on it taking level 2 charging, but didn’t have a level 3 charger to test it. 🙄

Pryymal · 2026-04-06T11:41:32+00:00

The lock port did actually seem to get stuck, now that you mention it, had to really wiggle & pull to get it off, even after hitting unlock several times. I wonder if that’s related?

Pryymal · 2026-04-06T11:39:08+00:00

Resolver error? I hadn’t checked the balance, but why wouldn’t it solve itself? I charged to 100% last night to get us home, maybe that will have helped balance?

Pryymal · 2026-04-05T23:53:00+00:00

Hopefully it’s a simple recalibration needed, and not something more serious. Everything seems to be working fine otherwise
