Has anyone bothered to have an electrician check out the outlets you're using?
 

I bought my house a year ago and had the electrical replaced top to bottom with new wiring, outlets, and fuse box.  The service was also upgraded.  I also have extensive amount of computer equipment in the house.  The Zero is the first issue I've run into.

Has anyone bothered to have an electrician check out the outlets you're using?  We discovered none of the three-prong outlets in our garage were grounded and that would be a DEFINITE issue.  I had him properly ground the existing outlets and run a dedicated 20 amp line to the garage which is where I plug my bike in now.

i installed the 2 - 20 amp circuits myself in his house so he could buy his bike. nothing wrong with the wiring, less than 1 ft' of total run. installed the outlet next to the main box. both blow when hooked up, plus all other circuits he has tried.

laters,

My 2013S did not have any charging issues until my Monolith Battery was replaced.  Then the GFCI outlet started to trip and then I found the tip of the kettle cord melted where plugs into the bike.  I replaced the cord now the GFCI outlet dose not trip but  the new cord looked fine for a few days but now looks like the kettle cord might be melted a little bit.  I was thinking that it my have been a close lighting strike when the plug was still hot from charging that caused the melting but now that the new kettle plug shows  signs of melting a little bit I am not so sure.  Plus when I first got the bike back from the dealer I did not have any charging issues until the Landlord replaced the garage door but a bad storm came through around the same time.
