I've negotiated with the parking deck at work, and they're letting me use an outlet to charge. Fantastic, right? The first day it went exactly as I thought I would. By the end of the workday, I had charged back up to 80%, which was about a 50-mile gain. The next day, however, I returned to my car to find it had only charged a very small amount and gained only about 10 miles during the 8 or so hours I was at work and it was plugged in. I thought maybe someone had unplugged me (thinking it wasn't allowed) and then plugged me back in (after talking to the people I talked to who approved it), so the next day I kept a close eye on it, and it was plugged in all day, but again, only gained about 10 miles the whole day, even though it was plugged in and charging (according to Carwings and my own midday observation).
I tried the other plug on the outlet, but same result. I also tried pressing the "reset" button on the plug, but that didn't do anything either. I'm thinking maybe the parking deck company "turned the plug down" or something because it charges, just very VERY slowly.
I'm using the amazing EVSE Upgrade (THANKS PHIL), and it's working fine at home and has always been working great, so I doubt that's the problem.
On the one hand, I want to have a "full-powered" plug, but on the other hand, I don't want to do anything that'll jeopardize my permission to use the plug.
