How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not use a charger with visibly damaged cable insulation. Isolate power and avoid touching exposed conductors.
- Assess damage extent: Inspect the entire length of the cable, especially near the plug and gland, for cracks, cuts, or flattening.
- Do not tape as a fix: Electrical tape is not an acceptable permanent repair for EV charging cables.
- Replace cable assembly: Order the correct EO tethered cable assembly and have it installed by a qualified technician, ensuring proper strain relief and torque on terminals.
- Improve cable management: Use a holster or hook to store the cable off the ground and avoid running it where vehicles may drive over it.
