Flaky & super-low charging with factory charger (2017 e-golf)

[raghu1111]

I have a 2017 e-Golf with 26K total miles. I recently started using 120V , 10 amp charger that came with the car to charge at home. It has been quite flaky:

• Some nights it does not charge at all
• Some nights it says it is charging, but it is extremely slow (2-3 miles in 5-6 hours).
  - Estimated hours remaining does not change much at all.
• Some nights it charges ok (4+ miles an hour).

Have you seen this before? Do I need to take it to the dealer? I got this car in Feb 2018. Does the warranty cover it

Until a few weeks back I was using 12 AMP charged that came with another EV (Chevy Volt) at home without any issues. The charger that came with e-golf was rarely used.

My set up: I have a mechanically timed plug that is on from 12 AM to 3 PM in order to charge during off-peak team. I have kept the car in manual charging mode. The plug is working fine. I have seen extremely slow charging with directly plugged in.

[I am going to get Level 2 charger soon, now that my current place gives me an option].

Definitely covered by warranty, though maybe the warranty expired as it is from 2017 - ask VW. Sounds like a faulty L1 EVSE, and maybe you can convince VW it should be covered by 5 year, 60,000 mile warranty. I have no problems with my 10 amp L1 EVSE, other than it overheated once in direct sunshine.
