Level 2 Chargers Only Drawing 5-6 Amps on VF8

[Johnny_CrookbackBog]

I’ve been experiencing some frustrating issues with my VinFast VF8 and Level 2 universal chargers lately. Last week, everything was working perfectly fine, but now, the car can barely draw 5-6 amps on a 64-amp charger. It’s taking forever to charge, current battery is at 28%, and to reach 90%, the estimate shows 79 hours!

I’ve had no problems when charging at Tesla Superchargers with the CCS Magic Dock; it works like a charm there.

Does anyone know if there’s a way to reset the car’s charging system or clear any memory related to old plug connections? Could this be a calibration or software glitch? I’d appreciate any ideas getting my VF8 to charge normally again with Level 2 chargers.

Hey, your VF8 is struggling with Level 2 charging. If you’re using the VinFast home charger, check the adjustment wheel inside, it should match your outlet’s capacity (15A, 30A, etc.). A wrong setting might limit the current draw.

If it’s not the charger, try resetting the car’s charging system. Disconnecting the 12V battery for a few minutes or using the settings menu may help. Ensure your car’s software is up to date, as updates often fix charging bugs.

You can also inspect the Level 2 charger and cable for damage or loose connections. Since Supercharging works fine, the issue seems specific to Level 2. If the problem persists, contact VinFast support for further assistance.

I’d suggest resetting the car’s charging system and checking for any updates.
