BMW EV charger displays E07; unit online but cannot communicate with vehicle, no charging current

Safety first: Turn off power before inspecting the cable in detail. Do not probe live pilot circuits without proper equipment.

• Inspect pilot pin: Look closely at the small pilot pin in the Type 2 plug for corrosion, bending, or contamination. Clean gently with a dry cloth; do not use abrasives.
• Check cable flex points: Run your hand along the cable, especially near the plug and Wallbox exit. A soft spot or sharp kink may indicate internal conductor breakage.
• Power-cycle and firmware check: Restart the Wallbox via breaker. If your BMW Wallbox is connected to BMW Charging or a home network, check the app for available firmware updates and apply them.
• Test with another EV: If another vehicle charges normally, the issue may be with the original vehicle's pilot circuit.

If E07 persists with multiple vehicles and a visually intact cable, the pilot driver or sensing circuit on the control board is likely defective. A BMW-authorized service partner should test and replace the control board or cable assembly as required.
