Webasto Reduced Charging Current / Derating

Charging is very slow compared to expected rate; Webasto charger and vehicle both show charging but at reduced kW.

Possible Causes

Dynamic load management limiting current, Manual current limit set in Webasto configuration, High internal temperature causing thermal derating, Single-phase connection on a three-phase capable unit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No immediate hazard, but avoid opening the unit while energized.

  • Check app or display: Confirm the current limit setting in the Webasto app or installer menu. Increase it only within the limits of your wiring and breaker.
  • Verify supply phases: Have an electrician confirm whether the charger is wired single‑phase or three‑phase and that all phases are present.
  • Ambient temperature: If the charger is hot to the touch or installed in a confined space, improve ventilation or shade to reduce thermal derating.
  • Load management: If connected to a Webasto load controller, check if other household loads are causing intentional current reduction.
