Hi all,
I couldn't find anything on the particular issue I'm having right now. A few months ago, my landlord had an outdoor outlet installed for me to use for charging, which is great. Unfortunately the cheapest place to install it was in the back of the house, so he bought me a 100' extension cord to connect it to my car out front. It's a high quality extension cord that is supposed to work well for EV charging like this, as a trickle charge L1.
The new setup was working fine for a couple of months, but two days ago it stopped working. Now when I plug in, the ready light blinks which apparently means that the ground on the outlet isn't working, which doesn't make sense to me because it's a new outlet. When I plug the EVSE into other outlets around the house it has the same problem, which also seems odd to me.
Is there some way to "reset" the ground? Or is it possible the EVSE was damaged by the setup? Please help me! I'm completely out of my element here.
