The last few times I have charged at home the car only charges for a short time (25-40min) then stops, charger shows either EV is preventing charging or EV is Full (its not), I can restart it in the app but it then runs for even less 1-6min.
I tried a public 7kW charger and it stopped within 13min and then would not start again, the car showed no errors at all.
I then tried a 200kW DC charger and it worked though it did feel a bit slower than it should have, been but I've not used that brand (Osprey) before.

This does sound very much like the CCU issue with the first gen cars, has anyone heard of this still happening with the newer generation cars?

Any weird fault like this and my first attempt at "fixing it" would be to disconnect the 12V battery for a few mins and then reconnect.
Don't worry about the error warning message when you reconnect, that's normal. Also you will need to turn the steering full one way then the other to satisfy the power steering.

And of course setting clock / Radio preset / any other saved settings may need to be redone.


Worth a try before a dealer visit.
 
It sounds like a cell balance issue, have you tried the discharge to less than 10% remaining and then a steady AC recharge at the 13 amp GPO charging rather than a 7 kW charge rate .....
You might need to repeat the deep discharge and slow recharge a number of times to get a good result
