Car will not charge - Contact dealer

I thought that, but why didnt i have a problem with the same Juice Box on the red SE? Why is it blowing at the main box, not the box for the extension, or the circuit that only the box is on? Initially I thought it was because it was roasting out, and both AC units were running. Last night nothing was on and it blew.

Could you tell us how it is wired back to whatever breaker is tripping. Wires sizes, breaker types and sizes.

Going backwards, I have the socket, about 8' of 6ga wire to the box for the house's extension. The box is in the basement, basically on the other side of the garage wall. In that box I have a 50A breaker. The wiring from the extension box to the main box was done by the prior owner around 2005. We bought the house in 2007. Nothing else was on the circuit now that wasn't on it from September through December when I was charging the red SE. Also, If i am drawing 16A, I dont think the hot tub (which was hooked up this weekend) will bring me anywhere close.

I was able to charge the car at a whopping 2.7 miles of range per hour using the 110 charger that came with the car. I also was able to spend $5 for less than 3KWH at an EVGo charger in the supermarket parking lot. I was hooked up for about 5 minutes. I wanted to see if it would take the charge. They get $3 for the privilege of plugging in.

...I blew the circuit at the main fuse box. The Juice Box is on a 50A in the basement for the extension. The circuit that blew is for the whole box that controls the extension.

So, good news that it's not a car problem!

Just to confirm, is it the main 100+ amp house breaker that's tripping or the 50+amp breaker that feeds the extension box?

Hot tubs can draw a lot of power especially when heating up (Google says ~36A is possible). The hot tub, AC, and the car all at once plus some random other loads could put you pretty close to 100A and the start-up current spike for either the hot tub or AC could be enough to push you over the limit and trip the breaker.

There are 2 onboard chargers for the MINI for redundancy. One is a 7.4kW (240V) KLE (Komfortladeelektronik) and the other is a 3.7kW EME (120V?). If you can't charge Level 2 then your KLE also needs to be replaced.

What is hooked up to the breaker that is tripping?
What type breaker is tripping?
Is this problem is since the hot tub was hooked up?
Has anything else changed since it last charged successfully?
Anything that has changed should the prime suspect.
