Why is my car charging so slowly?
Your car is charging, but much slower than expected. This is not always a fault: in many cases it's a combination of car settings, charger limits, and your Leafy Energy profile.
Possible causes
- The car limits its own charging power (for example due to battery temperature).
- The charger is limited (e.g. 11 kW instead of 22 kW).
- Leafy Energy is applying load balancing and temporarily reduces power.
- Household consumption is high, leaving less room for the EV.
How to investigate
- Open the Leafy Energy app and inspect “Available power” versus “Charging power”.
- Check whether your profile emphasises savings or main fuse protection.
- Verify in the car that no artificial current limit is set.
In demos you can show how charging power follows household load and price, making “slow charging” often a deliberate optimisation rather than a problem.
