Long time lurker first time poster,
We have been having a frustrating issue where our car will intermittently stop charging after a random amount of time. Sometimes we plug it in and it will charge all the way up, sometimes it will only charge for a few minutes and then stop, sometimes it will charge for an hour or two and then stop. This happens at different times of day and on different days of the week.
After my partner was late for class (she is a professor) two days in a row we took our beloved Miev-o-tron in to the only dealer in our area who is certified to work on the Miev. After keeping the car for a week they told us two things:
1) we have to pay them to do a battery reconditioning(?) where they run it down to turtle mode and then charge it all the way back up or we will void the warranty on our battery.
2) the problem with charging is because we have accidentally set our car to stop charging on certain days at certain times.
Here are my questions:
1- we have never used the remote control, it is sitting in a drawer in our apartment with dead batteries, is there any way we could have accidentally set the timer in this sort of way?
2- we can't find anywhere in the manual that says we have to do this renewal thing to keep our warranty. Is there any truth to this?
Bonus: Has anyone had weird issues where the battery just stops charging at random intervals?
Thanks Everyone.
