We picked up our new Rex this last Saturday. We made a few trips around town that first day and ran the batteries down to about 5%. We connected to a ClipperCreek HCS-40P L2 EVSE and began the charging process…but after about 5-6 minutes charging stopped and the car displayed a drivetrain malfunction error. We’d disconnect the cord, wait a few seconds and reconnect…the charging would start again but then stop again with the drivetrain error after about 5 minutes. After repeating this for about an hour we tried the L1 charger that came with the car and saw the same behavior. We went back to the L2 charger and after several hours of reconnecting the car was charged up.
Sunday morning we took a short trip and ran the batteries down to about 70%. Came back and reconnected to the L2 charger and the car charged back up to 100% with no disconnects and no drivetrain errors.
We dropped the car off at service on Monday and it seems they haven’t really found anything wrong. They’re going to try and run the batteries completely down and see if they can recreate the issue.
Has anyone seen this condition where charging stops with a drivetrain error after 5 minutes? Any ideas what might be going on?
