Resistance between PP and PE on charger plug is 220 ohms, as expected for 32A cable. Measure when unplugged from mains supply. I've done an OBD fault log download, no faults relating to charger logged.

Maybe the charger design does not switch in the right resistor pull down value for the 32A mode. The charger display shows a control voltage of 8.2v

I have followed all the above and still the car only draws 15amps

It's either that dreaded trip to BMW or I just continue charging with the granny charger as I have been for the past 3 years. I only have one year left on the lease.

No not checked error codes. Is it possible see these from the infotainment screen? I don't own a fault code reading tool.

I have tried it on two home chargers now. And one away from the home 7kW chargers. I am now getting the "Unable to Charge", when mode 2 is set to anything other than Low. Could this be related to a faulty 12v battery, that I have read elsewhere? For reference, DC charging is working as expected.

Hi Mojo, what charge settings do you have in your i3?

This is quite interesting regarding cable resistor.

I have no doubt the charger does not need 3 phase power input, but does the I3 need L1 L2 and L3 pins populated for charging above 3kW? i. e. 3 phase to the car? I configured the above charger to the 32A setting. Set charging controls in the i3 to max. But the charger never reported...

Yes Suffolk UK. Mains voltage in breaker box is 230v ac RamTouch Electric Vehicle Charger (7.4 kW, Type 2, CEE Plug 32A, 6.5 m), Portable EV Charger with 8A to 32A Adjustable Power and Delayed Charging, Compatible with EVs and Hybrids, Home & Outdoor Use https://amzn.eu/d/5w6pSMP This is the...

I think the problem is with my new charger. It only has L1 and N power pins. I think the i3 needs L2 and L3 pins, for 7kW operation.

I have just had a 7.4kW home charger installed. It is suitable for 32A at 230 volts, but my i3 is only consuming 15A. Has anyone had similar problems?
