Are you charging at 40 or 48 amps? Either way I would think you would be at 80% already. Someone will chime in that knows more.

What is the amp rating? That would be about right if it's only 16A or 24A. Have you confirmed you don't have the car set to a reduced rate?

At 16 amps Level 2 I get about 12-13 miles per hour of charge (car is not set to reduced rate).

if charging cable is capped at 12amp, do you have to lower the charging speed in ev6 setting or leave it at default ?

The cable will tell the car what amperage it's capable of. You only need to adjust the car if that's too much for some reason (other things on the circuit, etc).

i have 30 amp circuit installed running pig tail convert to a 5-15 plug. charging cable itself is lev1 but capable of up to 12amp

I use the ENEL X Juicebox, capable of 40 amp with a NEMA 14-50 plug and a 50 foot extension cord and a 2 tiered Kobalt cart I purchased from Lowes. I purchased the charger via Costco.com because using the cart and extension cord, the Costco model is 20 foot cord, not 25 ft on the charger, but is about $100 less. This charger is easy to hook up to wifi, works very well, sends notifications and emails for charging parameters, starting, stop, delaying for time of use, etc. What I like best is that the user can set the amperage draw up to 40 amps. Mine is installed on a 50 amp circuit that is not dedicated to the charger alone, so if I pull all 40 amps, I may trip the breaker if an AC motor or furnace motor starts. I set it down to 35 amps in the phone app and never had a problem since. It charges at about 7.74 kW/hour set like this. By setting up with an extension cord and cart, I can park my car in lots of places besides the garage to charge it and can also charge visitor's to our home car's if needed. Also, manually starting and stopping charging outside of time of use cheaper rates is very easy. So in summary it is very flexible in output, very informative to the user, the app is shareable with others in the household. It's UL listed, 3 year warranty and i get nothing for promoting it.

The first time I used my Charge Point level 2 charger i hadn‘t down loaded their app and linked it to my car the the charge was quite slow. Could that be your problem?
