Hello all! I can't find a thread on this topic, so here's my question:
I installed a siemens level 2 charger in my garage for my 2018 Volt. I've never had a problem with the charger and it works perfectly every time.
Seeing how much I love EV's, my parents recently bought a Clarity and a Leaf. Every time they come by and plug in, the breaker trips within a few minutes of plugging in, so they can't use the charger. They have the same charger installed at their house, and they don't have any issue with it there.
I haven't been able to find any information as to why this may be. The 240 is on a dedicated circuit with no other draws. I called Siemens and they think it's something with the wiring, but our electrician who installed it says it checks out - he's a family friend and I believe him.
Thoughts?
