Finally, managed to reach the destination around 9pm. Could have done that around 7 if we haven’t wasted our time dithering whether to go back to Reims or not. There is a destination charger at the hotel, so atleast the local trips are sorted. I am still yet to figure out what triggers that software glitch.
The problem seems to be I got the error message first before we decided to leave the car and do a bit of shopping at the maison de monde. But something similar happened while I was on my trip to Cornwall at the Lifton SC. So I checked my mobile and it wasn’t charging. I reset but didn’t charge. Then moved the car to the next charger and it started charging- so thought this resolved the issue. Charged fully but continued to have the error message saying DC charging not working but do AC and the car was unable to get the maps where it has to SC. We dithered for a while- booked a service request Reims (yet to get a response - French service centres are much worse - no one picked up their phone). We tried the roadside assistance but the message was ‘your location wasn’t covered’. The options were:
- just continue to the next SC using Google.
- Go to Reims and physically check weigh the service centres.
- Go towards Reims and try roadside assistance if we get lucky.
We did our shopping etc., and then by that time the battery dropped down 2%. Tried to charge again and it charged but not able to get maps that calculates for SC. But was able to get maps if I can do within the car range. That ruled out any connection related issue.
I am not sure whether as
@Bouba mentioned it is mobile related issue - as needed to take money from credit card for SC. Or something software related when I do a long trip. Or something else.
Will update regarding the charging issue so others can be better prepared if face similar issues. But we enjoyed the whole ride as mentioned in another thread and it was so easy to do miles after miles.
