17 Error Codes on my iPace.

[V1Teo]

In an effort to sort my CCS charging issues i went to visit Christchurch Jaguar.

They found 17 error codes and told me they’d resolved them all with software updates.

Once I got the car back, the first Chargemaster CCS charge worked perfectly. I was jubilant to say the least.

Unfortunately since then had I’ve had 3 failures in a row

I know I’m not alone but at some point my patience has got to run out! Spent an hour away from home trying to charge last night. Ended up back home using my trusted granny charger. Soaking wet and miserable!

Thankfully we have this Forum to share our woes. I think I’d have packed up long ago if I didn’t have this support!

I totally sympathise but prepare yourself to be told you have unrealistic expectations!

The I-Pace definitely has a compatibility issue with quite a lot of CCS chargers out there. We can only hope that is easily resolved and that either JLR or the charging companies have the will to do so.

Indeed the I-Pace seems to have problems, especially with older chargers. Not sure if this applies to other EVs too.

One week after I got my car I went for a test drive up in the Swedish mountains to try out the charging infrastructure. I use to go there 3-4 times a year with my old ICE cars and wanted to investigate it under controlled circumstances in summer in order to avoid bad experiences in snowstorms later on. The results were mixed. 6 out of 8 CCS chargers worked without any problems (all newer ones). Some of them being 100 kW and two of them completely free of charge! But two of them didn't work at all, both 5 years old. And of course, those two were located in the wilderness with long distances to alternatives.

So, at least here in Sweden, the situation is ok, but you really need to have backup plans for chargers that don't work.

I lived for three wonderful years in Stockholm. I’m glad they generally have the infrastructure sorted. Have fun this summer!

My experience is similar to @ptblad, living in Sweden, the charging infrastructure is quite alright but the older CCS-chargers are totally unreliable. On my last 420 km trip I only needed to top up once to get home but this turned out to be quite a challenge.

I tried two different CCS-chargers from Garo, by two different operators. Both chargers are about 5 years old and gave the same error message: ”Problem in vehicle” (translated directly from swedish . With 80 km reach left and 70 km to my home i put all hope to the next charger. Arriving with 51 km left I plugged in and it worked instantly! This time it was a more modern ABB charger.

I have had the same problem with chargers from Garo. It started early June and is not yet corrected. To my experience, I have faced it with at least 3 chargers

I’ve had trouble with old and new DC chargers.
The car is totally unreliable!
My trip from Norway to Italy was quite frustrating to say the least.
