When charging the vehicle with the Occasional Use Cable (OUC), and the charge rate set to ""Min"" in the CID, charging may switch off during the charge cycle.

The following fault is stored in the Electric Machine Electronics (EME): 0x222843 - charging management: Charging target not reachable (power of charger too low) Updated software is available to prevent this situation from recurring.
