    I have A Grizzl-e Smart charger in my garage. I noticed over last night the car did not charge. I assumed I didn't plug it in all the way or something. However today I cant get the car to charge for more than 10 min. I did do a firmware update. However I still cant get to tp charge. Is there a way for me to see why it's stopping?

    Did you try your included Level 1 EVSE to see if the problem is with your SE or your Grizzl-e?

    I did. It’s currently charging with that cable.

    I should also mention the light on the grizzl e is flashing white.

    I googled the Grizzl-e Manual and found this page. Your report of flashing white suggests that your Grizzle-e is re-initializing over-and-over. It must be broken.

    Ha, ha! "At this time we ask all Smart users to use the charger as a dump one..."

    At least they owned up to the problem when you contacted them. I hope the dump solution works for you because waiting for the Level 1 EVSE to finish charging can be agonizing.
