First roadtrip with our Mauna Red GV60 was a bust! Have had vehicle for approximately one month and charged flawlessly with my level 2 Grizzl-e changer in my garage. Had also charge well on several free level 2 chargers around town(Red Deer), and on a free Tesla charger at a local hotel with my Tesla Tap adapter! Charged vehicle to 90% prior to leaving for Calgary for son’s wedding and arrived with around 45% SOC. As I was to drive the lovely wife of the groom and the bride’s parents to Kananaskis for photos after the wedding went early day of wedding to nearby fast charger and attempted to charge vehicle. It was a FLO 50 kw charger and as I had FLO card and app assumed I was all set. Charger Initialized with car however immediately stopped charging. After appro. 10 failed efforts decided to try another charger about 7 km away. Again was a FLO 50 kw charger an again similar results. Called FLO helpline and staff were very helpful and tried charger reset and backend IT effort to push the connection to vehicle and overcome whatever was causing charger to disconnect after initializing.
Next called Calgary Genesis and spoke to service advisor who played middleman between myself and technician at the dealership. The technician believed the problem was a charger problem not a car issue while my opinion was the other way. Agreed to take vehicle to dealership as less than 3 hours before the wedding and needed vehicle to get parents of bride and groom to photo shot after wedding. Was able to charge vehicle via Level 2 charger at dealership and while head mechanic at dealership got an error code from the charge port, said it was not reliable error code until vehicle had better charge. They provided me a loaner(non Genesis) after advising there was a recall for problem with rear tailgate and additionally car was giving a verbal notification on shutdown that a window was open despite all windows being closed. Genesis app was also showing passenger window open despite all windows being closed.
GV60 left at dealership Friday at 11:15 AM and Saturday they advised that after trying a variety of fast charger in Calgary they had been unable to charge via a fast charger. Their mechanics were unable to determine cause of or remedy for the charging issue, and therefore opened ticket with Genesis Canada for assistance however as Genesis Canada was closed till Monday I am now back home in Red Deerwith the loaner
