J1772 connector will not latch securely into the vehicle inlet or frequently pops out during charging.

Safety first: Do not tape or tie the connector in place; a secure mechanical latch is required for safe operation.

• Inspect latch: Examine the latch hook and spring on the J1772 handle. It should move freely and return firmly.
• Check for cracks: Look for cracks or deformation in the handle body near the latch.
• Test on another vehicle: If possible, plug into a different vehicle to see if the issue is with the handle or the vehicle inlet.

If the handle latch is worn or broken, replace the entire J1772 handle and cable assembly. If the vehicle inlet is at fault, consult the vehicle manufacturer.
