Oh dear!

The Shell 170 kW charger is a big beast, a couple of those would likely hit the local network? Although perhaps not that day...

"Recognised but fails to charge" sounds like software or overload settings, or maybe an overkeen off-earth detector.

I bet it is the first load of that size to be plugged in since the socket was fitted...

If they have a granny lead perhaps they can ask to plug it in to a spare socket behind the reception desk for a few ~~hours~~ days?

Google reckons the battery is 422KWhr, so 37 hours at say 12A should do it. Better uncoil the lead so it does not overheat.
