Consumer Description
Vehicle does not charge at the full 11 kW it's rated for on a level 2 EVSE. It gets charge interrupted. I've had the SC311 installed which causes the car to lower the charging rate automatically instead of just dropping charge. But I still can't get the full charge rate. This occurs on my home level 2 EVSE, on each of the 12 level 2 EVSE ports I use at work, and out in town. The charging port gets extremely hot when charging and is not designed to pass the full 50 amps it's rated for. It struggles at anything over 25 amps. The extreme temperatures of the charging port can cause a fire or burns to people. The car needs to be recalled and the J1772 charging port and sensors needs to be replaced. This complaint is very common in the various EV6 owner's forums.
