I've been seeing slower charging on Rapid chargers this last few weeks. I put it down to the freezing weather (and it possibly is partly) but today I had a rapid charger error out on me, one that normally works fine. I put it down to a fault on the charger and went on my way, I was localish and on about 60% so no urgent need.
I got to my next job and while I was working on the laptop the car died, I had the car on full for some heat and to run the computer. When I looked up I had the dreaded HV battery disconnect with low power on the 12v batt.
Did the usual stuff but nothing worked so called AA out and their guy tried everything he knew includiing charging the 12v, clearing invisible errors, but the fault remains. So breakdown truck to the dealer and I have to cross my fingers they can sort it. It's a lease so luckily the leasing co. include a hire car.
Advice, take warm clothes with you, it's darned cold out there just now and was no fun waiting for pickup.
