is getting too warm, so charging has been slowed to
protect the wiring and Wall Connector.
This is not typically an issue with your vehicle or your

wiring. This may be caused by a loose building wiring
connection to the Wall Connector and can be
fixed

to inspect the building wiring connection to the Wall
Connector. They should make sure that all wires are
properly connected and torqued according to the
