Weirdly, I had this light pop on last week, not while charging, not even after charging, but on the second switch on after charging. I decided to ignore it and when I returned to the car a few hours later, no error. [shrugs] so no idea.

Is Honda trying to tell us something perhaps? :lol:

Only if it's telling you to ignore it... :lol: I've had plenty of colours show up... it's software... it shows warnings. Nothing to worry about.
The E doesn't show the true bad erros to the user so everything that shows up is basically cautionary.
The interpretation is the situation is not ideal but nothing major going on. It should go away, only if something doesn't work right you have reason to take it to the dealer.

Have the Finns here tried Plugit DC chargers?

I've tried them twice, and had the same error message both times. Both Plugit DC chargers tried were in the Lippulaiva shopping centre in Espoo.
I've used other DC chargers (ABC, Lidl) without any issues. I did ask whether they're Kempower chargers, but Plugit stated the charger is their own model.

If I'm not mistaken, you can definetely see the Kempower branding on the charger itself. You should be able to tell by yourself.

Somebody in this thread said that they have had this problem occured also on different brands of chargers, not just Kempower. I'm not sure, if the software update for the charging contoller from Honda would also fix yours?
