This has recently started occurring. Bike: 2020 SR/F Premium + 6kW Charge tank.

I plug in, fans whirr, 2.1kW, w00t. Wander off, make cup of tea, ponder imponderables, curse at the state of the kitchen, grumpily deal with dishwasher, etc. and in the back of my mind "hmm best check charging..." And of course it's lucky I did check the charging, because it's sat there at 0 amps, sometimes maybe with 0.1kW showing, not charging at all. It just decides to stop charging, randomly, after it's put in 20% or whatever.

This has happened about 4 to 5 times now in the last couple of months and it's really irritating, because one day I'm going to plug in and go to bed and the bugger won't be charged in the morning when I need it for work and then there will be a general wailing and gnashing of teeth.

I would be happy to look into this for you. Would you mind sending me a private message with the last five digits of your VIN so that I can look up your account?

On mine, there were a couple plastic shards in the pin sockets on the bike. Sometimes if I didn't get the plug in just right, it would at some point break connection and stop. Then wiggling the charger handle just a bit would get it going again. After a few times of this happening I looked at it and found the shards. I blew them out with compressed air and no more problems. Have you tried just wiggling or putting slight pressure on the charging handle to see if its an intermittent connection? Also look at the pins for corrosion or scorching?

No apparent corrosion or scorching but it's hard to see in there. Wiggling seems like it may have fixed it once or twice. I will give it a good blow and a bit of isopropyl alcohol treatment to make sure they're really clean.
