Car is connected but charges very slowly

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.
