...32A at 240v.

What gives?

Better minds, please chime in.
We need a little more info.

Where was it showing 18 mph?
What was it showing before in charging current and voltage?
What are you using to charge it from?

It's in the face plate of the apps.

Thanks!

Must be it!

Gotta double check that.

I admit a time to time attack of idiocy -- on some days, more frequent. :eek:

So, it's not the change in unit measures.

It's now 8 mi/hr.

Noticed amps dropped by half to 16A from 32.

I stopped the charging pull out the chord reinserted it and went back to 18 mi/hr.

Can't be an overload in the home circuitry. The A/C is not even running.

Did it change from 16/16 or 16/32?

Mine does this when charger gets hot, using a mobile connecter.

That is highly suggestive of a circuit issue. The vehicle is ramping back the charge speed because the voltage is dropping.
First thing is to check the connectors for charging. If you feel comfortable with working with electricity, turn off the breaker and check the outlet and tighten all the connectors.
There is probably something warming up and you may be able to feel it.

It's the car trying to keep you safe. It's keeping your house from burning down.

From 32/32A to 16/16.
Ok, that's probably the Mobile Connector reading an elevated temperature. If the vehicle reduced draw due to voltage fluctuations, that should incur a 25% current reduction and not change the /32 part.
If it happens again, check the indicator lights on the mobile connector. Decoder is in the MC manual.

How do you change the units to show miles per hour charge in the app? I can’t see where or how to do that. Thanks in advance.

Touch the numbers.

And up, you can even change it from total miles or percentage of charge.
