Arrived in Vacaville 4:45 PM, 11/32 charge, 1844 ODO, 57 mi range left. Started Level II EVgo charge. A little while later there was a "Charging error 5" and it stopped charging. It only got to 7/16 charge, 72 mi range. No text or email sent, but the app did show it was offline; we thought the app had crashed. Switched to fast charge at 7:05 PM, 57F. Stopped it early, 13/16 charge, 135 mi range. Called EVgo to report incident. They said there was a power surge that shut it down for safety. Asked for text warning next time, and for a waived fast charge fee. They wrote it in their notes; we will see.
Arrived home in Santa Rosa, 11/32 charge, 1904 ODO, 46F, 47 mi range.
