I tried using the Ecotricity AC medium charger in Ikea croydon yesterday and could not get the car to charge.
The charger appeared to be working and accepted the Ecotricity card and tried to start charging but my i3 issued the warning:
Mains power too low.
Unable to charge.
Insufficient power from the electricity mains.
I have a 7kw charger at home that works ok and i did try lowering the charge rate to medium and low on my i3 to no avail. The iApp also displayed 'charging error' by the way. As it happens i didnt really need a charge so it was not a problem, however i wondered if anyone else had issues with the medium AC chargers? I have had problems with the Rapid DC's from ecotricity too of course but they do sometimes work and the issue seems widely known, although not resolved as yet.
