Possible Causes

RFID authorization required but not presented, Access control misconfigured, Weak contact in Type 2 connector, Control pilot not detected by vehicle

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Do not attempt to bypass safety interlocks to force charging.

  • Check access mode: In the EVBox app, verify whether RFID or app authorization is required. Present a valid RFID card or start the session via the app.
  • Reconnect plug: Unplug and firmly reinsert the connector into the vehicle until fully seated and latched.
  • Test with another EV or cable (if socketed): Determine whether the issue follows the vehicle or the charger.
  • Review schedule: Ensure no delayed charging schedule is active that would prevent immediate start.
  • If still no start: The control pilot circuit or access control logic may be faulty; contact a technician to test and possibly replace the cable or main board.
