I've had a problem now at two different chargers. After charging for a little while, it will suddenly stop and the BlueLink alert I get says:
"Your vehicle is not charging. Please try again. Ensure the vehicle ignition is OFF and gear shift is in PARK."
I'm starting to wonder if it's the car and not the stations. Anyone else experience this?

There is an EA 50kw charger that does this to me. It just stops for no discernable reason and I have to create a new session.

This is most certainly a generic "error" message and not the real cause of the issue.

I assume by saying "chargers" you mean DCFC type machines. ABB has had some issues with their firmware perhaps these machines have not been updated yet - do you have a Plugshare link as to the locations?

No, these were all Level 2 chargers.
This is not the first time your car has encountered charging issues and from your previous posts they seem to happen on level 2 (and level 1) using EVSE equipment.
Since you have checked the settings (charge level at 100%) there is not much else to do but have it checked by the dealer (assuming the charge port is clear of any issues like dirt/corrosion etc). I would suspect an issue with the on board charger in the car (software or something else). I know I have had issues with Semma Connect equipment but it will usually be displayed on the EVSE itself, not creating an error report through Bluelink.

Only happened on two Level 2 chargers. Never had the issue with my Level 1 charger. I'll check out the plug area to make sure it's clean. Maybe I'll try using one of those cans of compressed air on it.

Make sure you don't have any time-based settings enabled such as a departure time. Public Level 2 EVSEs might give up the session after a minute with no activity while home units will wait patiently without knowing or caring why charging has not commenced or when it stops.

No time based settings are enabled. At this point, I think it can be one of three problems:
1. Defective L2 Charging stations (less likely the more stations this happens at)
2. Something defective in the car's EVSE hardware
3. Some sort of glitch in the communications (maybe software) or incompatibility between the car and the L2 charging station
