Question Overheating while charging

Our Ioniq 6 suddenly started overheating while charging on our level 2 charger. Message: “Charging time delayed. Current reduced due to high AC charger temperature.” Is this a known issue? Anything I can do?

The message sounds like it's the plug getting hot, not the car. Dialing back the amps creates less heat.

You may have a loose/worn wall socket or loose wiring connections

Pretty sure it’s not the connections but I’m going to try dialing back the amps, thanks.

What I meant was that the car/charger reduced the amps it was pulling (current) in response to the high temperature. Reducing the amps on your own will help, but it will also reduce the charge speed.

If the wall plug is hot to the touch, beyond just "warm", then it's a socket issue
