Since a few days, (Maybe since 1.4?) whith my car is on AC charge, when I come back and the car unlocks itself, the charging stops.
This happened on different charging stations.
(I am far from the requested charge level)
Before I could unlock and open the doors, and the car would keep on charging.

Anyone else have seen this problem?

Mine is exactly the same. I’ve had the car for two weeks, it came with 1.4 and I thought it was normal.

I think it is very unusual. I am on 1.4 and it charges irrespective of being locked or not.

I also have same as you when locked and charging, looks like version prior to 1.4 didn't show this problem.
It is annoying if you forget something in the car while charging, you don't necessary realize it will stop.

However, it seems that if the car was unlocked, and you insert the charge plug, it doesn't stop, unless you lock and unlock the car.

Hope it will change with 1.4.2 update.
Any parameter we have missed somewhere ?

Well, it only happens on AC charging. DC (fast chargiing) is OK.

So on AC tha charge stops when the car is unlocked, and when it relocks, it starts again.
Maybe it's cool when charging at home, because you only have to pull the plug and drive, but on external (commercial chargers) the charge may not restart, as the session stops altogether.
