Can’t change L1 charge rate.

Hi folks,

I couldn’t find any forum posts on this so here we go....

I can’t seem to change my L1 charge rate. I set it to, “reduced” in the PHEV infotainment screen but the screen on the Niro’s EVSE still shows “H” indicating high power and my estimated charge time from flat is still 9 hours when it should be around 12 or so at the reduced rate. Anyone else having trouble with this?

Google is failing me but I think you can change the settings on the charge box as well. In any event I suspect you are correct that the box is just reporting what it is set to deliver and not what the car is receiving.

At L1 rates, I can't think of any reason it would be better for the battery. I think the lower settings are simply to support circuits that can't handle the 12 amp (high) setting.
