Lat night I came home from work, pulled the I into the garage, plugged in the EVSE and noticed that I did not hear the familiar vacuum sound that I always hear when I first plug in and charging starts. I looked at the brick, it showed green for power on and yellow for charging. I just assumed I must have missed the sound and left it at that. This morning when I turned on my FOB so I could preheat the cabin, the battery indicator showed same status as last night...9 bars! I ran out and checked the EVSE, it seemed to be plugged in, but no red light on the dash and no charge indicator on the brick. I uncoupled the pistol and re-inserted. Green light and orange lights activated, dashboard red light on. Too bad I only had about 15 minutes before I had to leave for work. I have enough energy to get home, and by my calculations I should have about 1 more bar remaining when I pull into my driveway. But I learned my lesson, don't take anything for granted. Check the EVSE and make sure it's charging. I do Level 1 and don't have easy access to Level 2, so a small mistake like that can really screw my day up... I am guessing that the pistol was not fully engaged when I plugged in last night, or it was not in too well and then came loose...
