Hi, I have a 2015 Zoe in 22 kwh and a Rolec home charger, all bought and installed 2 years ago. We have been using a Tesla 3 from on.to for the last 2 months and sharing the charger with no problems. Although when you have a Tesla you use the Zoe a little less
. The charger was working fine with the Tesla anyway.
Anyway now the Tesla has gone I plug in the Zoe and get the "Check Charging Post" error.
It is hit and miss. I have tried supporting the cable and resetting it and sometimes it works sometimes not.
Yesterday I tried in the middle of the day and got the message> So unplugged locked the car and came back 20 minutes later and then it did start charging. So then I set the timer for my Octopus Go 12.30 and came back this morning to find it hadn't charged.
By chance I had a service with Renault yesterday and asked them to look at it. Instant response, no consideration, was "that will require a diagnostics check at a cost of £280". This annoyed me just a little. So I tried- "have you heard of the error before", "do you have any ideas of what it could be" and got the "it is an electric car and they are very complicated we can only tell you what is wrong if you pay" response. Anyway I declined their offer as I had no confidence that the diagnostics would actually give a clear answer- apart from it being a disgraceful rip off.
As far as I can see it could be any of the following
thanks!

As far as I can see it could be any of the following
- faulty charger, that upsets the Zoe but not the Tesla, some mentions of the Zoe being overly sensitive
- intermittent earthing problem, due to what? sensitive Zoe doesn't like it
- faulty Zoe, but no idea what it could be
- some talk of the 12V battery possibly being the problem, I will get it tested but would have thought Renault would have checked it as part of the service
thanks!
