How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not tape or otherwise force the plug to stay in place; poor contact can cause overheating.
- Inspect latch: Examine the latch on the Type 2 plug for cracks, missing pieces, or weak spring action.
- Clean latch area: Remove dirt or debris from the latch and mating area on the vehicle inlet.
- Test on another vehicle: If possible, test the plug on a different EV to confirm whether the issue is with the plug or the vehicle inlet.
- Replace plug or cable assembly: If the latch is worn or broken, replace the entire tethered cable assembly or plug with an EO‑approved part.
