The service advisor are suggested not wasting the 260 and just buying a new charger. The BMW charger is close to $600. Any suggested approaches to take on this?

I am on a 50 amp outlet.

And they claim the charger is an accessory so it is only covered by a 12 month warranty. I am at about 2 1/2 years.
Have you tried limiting your rate of charge to 32 rather than 40 amps. I would also shut off the breaker and make sure all the wire connections on the outlet are secure and that the outlet is of high quality as suggested elsewhere in this thread.
