When I get out of the car level 2 charger display says charging stopped. Lock the car & charging starts again. IRemote confirms t...

Personally, I think they FOB design is dumb...the unlock button literally goes right to the edge of the FOB, making it somewhat easy to inadvertently unlock the car when you don't expect it, and, if that button gets held down long enough, open up the windows, too!
