Hi everyone, I just got a 2015 eGolf SEL with the 7.2kW onboard charger a couple weeks ago. I plug into a block of Chargepoint stations at my office everyday while at work and have noticed that I'm only pulling between 3.1-3.6kW/hr (according to my Chargepoint app and charging activity account details), instead of >6kW as I would have expected. I know these particular stations output a higher rate since I previously had a 2013 Nissan Leaf with the 6.6 charger. Also, several co-workers have Leaf's that park in the same lot and are able to charge at the higher rate, so it seems specific to the Golf. I've verified on the actual onboard charger the sticker read "7200 watts", so I do have the faster charger and should be capable of charging at the higher rate.
The Chargepoint stations are rated to output 7.2 as well, so I'm not quite sure if there is a communication problem between the Golf and the station or what. I'm talking to Chargepoint about it and can hopefully get it figured out, but was curious if anyone else has noticed anything similar?
