Description:
I have had the vehicle for 4 months with no charging issues. All of a sudden the other day, my car would not charge at home AC 14-50 outlet using the Polestar supplied cable at 48 amp max setting to achieve the 9-11 kW charging rate. I lowered the max amp to 15, and the car started charging at a very slow rate of 3 kW. I also tried plugging my car into a slow Chargepoint AC charger and it would not charge at all. I contacted Polestar service and after a few hours, I was finally able to get a hold of the technician and he said there is a defective OBC that needs to be changed but it would take at least 2 weeks and that he would not have a loaner available for me until May. He said it was up to me if I wanted to still enjoy my car and just deal with it charging slower at home or charge using DC fast charger instead, which defeats the purpose and convenience of having an EV to begin with.
