Steps:
1. Park and turn off the car
1a. No schedule is set, and I don't select the Charge Now option.
2. Plug in a Chargepoint cable
3. The light below the charging port turn solid green within a few seconds and stays solid

The next steps normally happen within 10-30 seconds, but now are...

All of a sudden, it's not charging anymore. I plug in the charger, the little light near the charger turns green for about 5 seconds or so, then it starts flashing for about 10 seconds and then shuts off. No charger ever starts on the car. The 3 blue dots never start blinking. When I open the door the Display reads "Charging Port Lid Open". Usually it would show...

Then I wanted to say yes to avoid the question.
But it didn't help at all. It still asks me the same and I say "Yes" almost every time.
Yet, I have never seen it run the A/C during the charging.

What's the purpose of this question?]]> 3 Sat, 18 Oct 2025 16:10:05 +0000 https://priuschat.com/threads/prius-prime-charge-monitor-issue.253175/ https://priuschat.com/threads/prius-prime-charge-monitor-issue.253175/ invalid@example.com (Jim Sugi) Jim Sugi

From other readings I get the impression that the batteries basically only have so many charge cycles in them before exhaustion.

Does anyone know which is true? A pattern of keeping the battery between 25-85% charged will increase the number of charges compared with a policy of running it to 0% and then...

Do any of you know of a Tesla (NACS) to J1772 adaptor that for-sure works with a 2017 Prius Prime?

More detail:

Our Clipper Creek EVSE started reporting some sort of problem this morning. I don’t yet know whether the issue is in the EVSE, the circuit, the outlet, the cable, or what.

However, if the EVSE itself is dying, now that we also have a Model Y, it might just make sense to ditch it and just use the Model Y’s mobile charger.

If so then, it would be good to be...

I can't find this ANYWHERE in ANY of the manuals? Maybe it's there, But I can't find it.

I need to order a Level 2 charger and I don't want to buy the wrong one.

The off-peak rate is 2.49 cents/kWh.

Obviously, I want to charge after midnight, but I do not charge on a regular basis.

Can is just set the schedule to charge every day after midnight and just insert the charging cable on the days I need a charge?]]> 3 Thu, 27 Mar 2025 14:18:36 +0000 https://priuschat.com/threads/newbie-charging-questions-2017-prime.254366/ https://priuschat.com/threads/newbie-charging-questions-2017-prime.254366/ invalid@example.com (omuomu) omuomu
So after a long and torturous time with the end of my Gen 3, I was able to get a 2017 Prime Premium. I've spent hours on the site looking up the info for this oft-asked question (I believe), but the search doesn't work very well and there's so much info that I'm pretty confused. Then again, I usually am!

Ok, so the only outlet I have that's on the outside of my home is a NEMA 6-20 plug at 240v on a 20A breaker (that made it sound like I know about electricity!). I know that...
