I’ve noticed my mobile charger that is connected via NEMA 14-50 is showing a partial amber color on the blue indicator of the charger. I have also noticed recently that my truck is only getting about 5kw of electricity per hour during routine charges when previously it was getting over 6 kw per hour. I’m assuming the charger is de-rating due to a charging issue, but I’m not sure what’s the issue. The cable is only warm after several hours of charging, not hot. Nothing has changed with my plug but I will say the mobile charger hangs from the plug versus being fixed to the wall and then plugged in. So maybe this downward pressure is causing a bad connection?

anyone seen this before or know what’s going on?

Combo amber/ blue (pulsing) means reduced output due to overheating of either the wall plug or the EVSE itself.
