How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No high-voltage work is required for this issue.

  • Sync time: Connect the charger to the Autel cloud via Wi-Fi or Ethernet and allow it to synchronize time automatically.
  • Manual time set: Use the app or local interface to manually set the correct date and time, then reboot the charger.
  • Firmware update: Check for and install any available firmware updates that address RTC issues.
  • Board service: If E018 persists and scheduling remains unreliable, the RTC circuit or backup battery on the main control board may be defective. Board replacement is typically required.
