Why Eletre won't charge on Tesla Supercharger?

[JohnToole]

Our new Eletre is awesome, except for one HUGE problem: it won't charge on Tesla Superchargers! Tried multiple stations and it starts charging for a minute or two, then BAM, it stops. Anyone else having this issue? It's not like I have a ton of other options.

Afaik, you should have a CCS connector in order for it to charge on Tesla Superchargers.

And the speed is pretty slow...

It looks like Lotus and Tesla won't be sharing charging stations. That's a real disappointment, but honestly, it's kind of typical of Lotus.

So did you try using other CCS chargers to see if the issue is specific to Tesla Superchargers, or could it be something with the car?

Eletre's probably throwing a fit because of communication issues or some voltage discrepancies between the Tesla Supercharger network and the Eletre's charging system. Even with the CCS adapter it's not always a seamless connection. Likely a software issue on either Lotus's or Tesla's end and it's frustrating as heck when you're stranded.

Since it's a new car, you're probably gonna be relying on Lotus to push an update to fix it but it's worth reporting the issue to Tesla too just to put pressure on both sides. In the meantime, you're stuck relying on other CCS chargers, which, yeah, isn't ideal. Hopefully, they get this sorted soon.
