So I finally got a chance to really test the PMCC last night. Car was @ 19% and set to stop at 85%. Plugged it in around 4:45pm and immediately saw the car go to about 9.3kW charging. Checked on the car around 8pm....and noticed it had dropped to 2.1kW. Thought this was odd....but maybe its part of the "optimization" setting since I don't care when it its done. Went into garage around 10pm and noticed the PMCC had a red screen saying it was too hot / limited service. See attached pic. The charger, the enclosure (dock) and the wire to the car.....were HOT. didn't take temps...but almost too hot for me to touch for longer than couple of seconds.
I know my electrical is good. Was installed with correct wire gauge, bends, junction, and circuit. The circuit itself was warm...but not hot and nothing out of the ordinary. But the PMCC...ws cooking itself. Garage was 90 degrees (thanks FL)....but one would think Porsche would have taken this into consideration. I have fully charged the car with a 3rd party unit (Mustart) and it had ZERO issues. Warm...but nothing out of the ordinary. Pulled a steady 38.9 amps from plug...and delivered 9.1kW to car without issues.
Anyone else seen this?
