Charging slow down

@Shippo: What brand of EVSE ("charger") is this? I see the word "SPARKY" on the PCB, but the only one I can find with that name looks like a Tesla destination charger.
Hi its a podpoint.
Indeed. It looks like at least one of the connections was loose, became high resistance, and dropped the voltage that the on-board charger saw. Hence the drop in charge power.

So a proportion of the charge power was dropped across the resistance of that bad connection. It doesn't take a large fraction of 7 kW to start getting toasty.
Looks like that is the case.
