I ventured out for my 1st public charge early this morning. Initially started with AC and my own cable, no problem at all. Touched my credit card and off we go.
Decided to finish that charge and try the CCS charger to see how much faster it would charge relative to the AC socket.
Seemed to start ok but then stopped and I was left with the following message...
Vehicle Control System Fault Please Stop Safely!
...then the car wouldn't do anything. Called the AA who, all credit them, arrived in under 30 minutes and reset the system.
The lesson learned here was don't start a charge using one system then stop and change to another system. Or if you do then do it slowly to let the system catch up!
