▲ 12 r/BMWi3

There was a big lightning storm Saturday and one bolt hit close enough to take out my kids alarm clock, a led desk lamp, my TV, my gate opener, and my L2 charger.

My car threw a bunch of errors and wouldn’t disengage park. Well my 12v was 3.5 yo already so I assumed/hoped that it had just spend the rest of the night and most of the next day trying to shake hands with the dead charger and gave up its own ghost. I found the one dealer with one 12v left and got it installed and registered. My car is still erroring demanding the charge cable be removed when it already is and the door is shut.

I’m getting error codes

805516 “Unlocking the charging plug (type 1): continuous actuation”

80552B “Charging connection flap and charging connection: status implausible”

I can’t do anything more tonight so I’m leaving it plugged into my spare L1 and will check in the morning. Unfortunately I think there is a call to the insurance company in my future.
