Anyone else: Apartment charging without a dedicated garage outlet

DetailGalCommunity StarterJul 7, 20262024 Polestar 2 Long Range Dual MotorOrange County
I can charge at work sometimes but not at home. For people living in apartments, what combination of public charging, workplace charging and occasional fast charging has actually been practical? If I fix it I'll come back and update the thread.

Charge curves lie if you don't match starting SOC and temp. Match starting SOC and battery temp if you're comparing 2024 Polestar 2 charge sessions. I'd do that before spending real money. If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. Trying not to diagnose from the couch.

Don't clear the alert just to make the screen pretty. Leave the alerts on the 2024 Polestar 2 so service can see what you saw. Then you'll know the next fork. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' Not trying to scare you — just skip the expensive first guess. I already checked the easy fluid levels.

Yes, with one caveat: Leave the alerts on the 2024 Polestar 2 so service can see what you saw. Then you'll know the next fork. If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. If it repeats twice more I'll book time.

That's a good start, but I wouldn't stop there. Match starting SOC and battery temp if you're comparing 2024 Polestar 2 charge sessions. That's where I'd start. Happy to compare notes if your setup is different. I'll poke at it this weekend.
