Sorry for the long post but it may be of interest to some and possibly an answer to others.
This is on a charger managed by Charge Place Scotland.
I’ve come across this issue and raised it with CPS but wondering if anyone else has experienced it.
When using the CCS on a Siemens charger the rate is dropping from 43 kW to 22 kW and on the first occasion last week dropped to 15 kW.
The process is:-
Arrive at the charger and the screen is at the ‘Standby’ screen telling you to present you card.
Hold that card against the reader and the screen changes to the ‘Charge selection type’ screen’
Go through the process of initiating the charge and the screen will change to the ‘Info’ screen details showing the duration, power consumed and the battery % state of charge. The 3 will also show the charge rate and time to end on its screen.
After a short time the screen on the charger will revert to the ‘Standby’ screen. At this point the rate of charge, according to the car, drops to 22 kW and time to reach full charge increases. On presenting the card again to the reader the screen will change to the ‘Info’ screen and the charge rate according to the car will ramp back up to 43 kW. The cycle will continue until the car is full.
The first time it happened CPS rebooted the machine as it was only giving 15 kW but as it was raining I sat in the car as soon as the charge started so did not tie up the drop in charge with the charger's screen going to 'Standby'.
