Hello all, new owner here (well bike is 2nd hand). First time plugging into an AC charger and get this "EVSE fault" message. Tried 3 different EVSEs all the same results. OBC fault?

Confirmed my worst nightmare. It wouldn't even take DC either. Stranded at the charger and need to get tow. This is the worst electric motorcycle I've ever own. I've got a BMW C-Evolution for 4 years and it didn't even give me a single issue. Yet this newer bike giving me a hell lots of issues. Charging is quite basic and fundamental for an electric vehicle that Harley Davidson can't even figure it out. It's a bloody DC CCS plug why the heck the bike think its an AC plug that need to get pass the OBC?

Ok I’m going to ask something odd…
you say it’s a CC charger but the CC flap is not opened on your picture. To charge CC your need the full connector with the 2 prongs at the bottoms.
if only AC, some chargers DO have issues with the way the livewire reduces the amps to protect the battery.
have you tried with the Harley EVSE?

Sorry my first photo wasn't very clear, apology. Here's a clearer photo and yes the flap opened and have to be open in order to insert the CCS2 plug in.
I don't have the OEM EVSE. But I do have an adjustable EVSE where I can adjust the amp output to just 240v 6amp. I would love to get the OEM one but at £700.00 that's a bit deep to be honest. My bike utilise European type2 plug.
Also today I've got this error message. "CHARGER FAULT" message on the right, is charger refer as EVSE or the OBC? Also I keep getting OBC and BCM no response when I do the DTC. Hopefully just software bug. Why can't Harley do OTA software update like Tesla
As you can see that I manage to charged the bike back to 14% from 1% after 30mins of tow by our Tesla Model 3
