    Driving a 2023 AWD Solterra since August 2023 and love it. Leased $399/mo for an AWD EV not a bad deal. It's comfortable, quick and pretty to look at. For me it's been a daily driver - ~40 miles round trip topped off overnight with a Wallbox level 2 charger. I set the car to 80% max charge. Not yet needed to fast charge. However, took a longer trip recently and got back home with 16 miles left. Now, it's plugged in the level 2 charger and and the estimate to full charge is nearly 2 days. This seems like a lot of time, definitely can't drive it the next day to work. My normal work days it tops off in 2 hours so I assumed it would be 2hr × 4 since I used four times the miles - 8 hours to charge for using around 160 miles. Apparently not. I hope to hear from wise people here who can explain this or let me know if this is not right.

  3. Makes no sense. I charge my Solterra regularly in my garage and it easily charges to full overnight. Tell us more about your EVSE charger. How many amps is it? Do you have a link for it?

    Also check the charge current limit settings on your car. It is possible that it was set really low. Should be set to max for A/C charging.
