Charging stations (700 right now!) are popping up everywhere in Holland, but there is a problem with charging at the majority.
We have created a Type 2 (Mennekes) -> Tesla connector and works fine with most charging stations, but not with the one from Alfen.
When connecting the Roadster and keeping my card for the charger it:
* Turns green
* Locks the connector
* Turns blue
But the Tesla keeps saying "Connect power cable".
To not make this a long story, after some phone calls and asking around a other Tesla owner did a test and noticed that the charging station gave a 11.4 Volt signal over the pilot (correct?) instead of the 12V the Roadster is expecting.
We/I contacted Alfen and they said that the 11.4Volt is within the 0.6 margin the specification says, so they say their charging stations is working fine.
Now we are in between two camps, Alfen says everything is fine, but the Tesla won't accept it.
Alfen have said that they will correct the problem, but never the less, shouldn't the Roadster accept the 11.4 Volt if it's within the specified margin?
Who knows more about this? If Tesla is to blame here, where to start? Where do we report this in the fastest way?
