How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: This is a signaling issue; standard electrical precautions still apply.

  • Step 1 – Try another EV: Test the charger with a different vehicle to determine if the issue is charger‑side or vehicle‑specific.
  • Step 2 – Firmware update: Update the charger firmware via the Enel X app to ensure compatibility with newer vehicles.
  • Step 3 – Connector inspection: Check the connector pins for damage or contamination that could affect the pilot signal.
  • Step 4 – Internal pilot circuit check (advanced): With power OFF, inspect the pilot driver components on the main control board for visible damage.
  • Resolution: If E25 occurs with multiple vehicles and the connector is good, replace the main control board.
