I have a 2016 SV with ~50k miles. We have had 0 issues, other than the aesthetics I suppose.
We have always used it for scooting around town and recharged with the trickle charger w/o challenges. We recently put in a 50a 240v receptacle to power a high current charger, in this case, the Grizzl-E Extreme (camo!) in 40a mode.
The first time I hooked it up, it worked great and charged the car like a champ. The next time (and many times), the charger faults with a "diode error" (9 beeps). The car always worked with other public chargers and continues to work with the trickle charger. I have not subsequently tested it with a high current charger after the Grizzl-E failure.
I had some pleasant back and forth with the Grizzl-E folks who asked to validate the receptacle is good (check!) and then they said it is their fault and are sending me a new one. I suppose this is a good outcome but I am uneasy about the whole situation unless their QC is poor, which doesn't seem to be the case judging by reviews.
Any thoughts on what happened / what diode error means?
