Been looking forward to the sunnier weather like that of today, and for the e-208 to fill nicely to max with our large solar install (done in 2 stages over 2 years after DNO approval for the second part) with Tesla storage battery, and brilliant Zappi v2 charger.
No problems with our BMW i3 charging using this set up, but for the second time today, I noticed that when the e-208 is charging with full solar energy, when the sun goes behind a cloud, there is of course a drop in solar input in to the car via the Zappi, but when the sun comes back out again and goes to max-6kW+ going in to the car, it trips out with a fault recording on the Zappi screen "Overload! 11.0A" or similar amp level, I then have to unplug the car, re-set the Zappi and then it charges again until the same process happens again (with bright sun, dim cloud, and bright sun cycle, causing another "short circuit")
When the car is trickle charging at a steady rate from the Tesla battery at 1.4kW, or it seems from solar on a bright cloudless day, there are no problems, and indeed when it is fast charging at steadyish 7.0- 7.3kW from the grid, no problems.
This is a specific scenario involving this set of equipment, for me, I understand, but wondering if anybody else has seen something similar with their e-208s, e-2008s or e-Corsa or other PSA cars which have the same battery set up?
Have spoken with the Zappi tech team who asked me to keep an eye on things. Is there some sort of charging update required on the e-208? I hope it may solve this issue.
