I am not sure about this but maybe the max amp is only when using the basic charger and not if it is plugged in to a wall charger?
From my experience anyway the car can communicated with the charger and automatically set it to 16A if the charger allows.

Yup, your understanding is correct.
That's what I'm suspecting. Maybe one of these days, I will plug in the basic charger and see what happened.
I think the only thing I am worried about is the impact it has on the battery's life and charge cycles if it is constantly being charged at max amp. |
I added this
Edit. Just reviewed the manual. The max. charging current setting is only for mode 2 charging (= basic charger).
So if you plug in the normal charger it should be at 12A and a really long charging time.
