How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not use the charger if the cable insulation is compromised. Turn OFF the breaker.

  • Inspect entire length: Carefully examine from the charger housing to the J1772 handle for any visible damage.
  • Avoid temporary wraps: Do not use tape or heat-shrink as a permanent repair on EVSE cables; this does not restore original safety.
  • Replace cable assembly: The correct repair is to replace the entire Bosch J1772 cable and handle assembly with an approved part, performed by a qualified technician.
  • Improve cable management: After replacement, use the provided holster and hooks to keep the cable off the ground and avoid sharp bends.
