Possible Causes

Intermittent control pilot signal, Poor contact in Type 2 connector, Faulty vehicle inlet, Noise or interference on pilot line

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Do not attempt to modify vehicle connectors. Focus on charger‑side checks.

  • Reconnect firmly: Unplug the connector from the vehicle, wait 10 seconds, and plug it back in firmly until fully latched.
  • Inspect connector pins: Look for dirt, oxidation, or mechanical damage on the Type 2 pins. Clean gently with a dry cloth.
  • Test with another EV: If E013 only occurs with one vehicle, the issue may be with that vehicle's inlet or onboard charger.
  • Check cable strain relief: Ensure the cable is not under tension or twisted during charging, which can stress internal conductors.
  • If E013 occurs with multiple vehicles: The control pilot circuitry or cable assembly in the EVBox may be failing. Arrange for cable or main board replacement.
