    Go into your vehicle settings on the dash touchscreen and see what charge current is selected. There's an 8A and 16A setting (and maybe a max setting). Sounds like a lower charge setting is selected. We charge our Gen4 at 8A/120VAC to be as gentle on the battery as possible.

    Someone probably set the car to not exceed 8A while charging. Check your settings

    FWIW; my battery only takes 4.5-5.0 hrs. on 120VAC to recharge for my morning commute.
