How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Immediately stop using the charger and turn OFF the breaker. Damaged insulation can expose live conductors.

  • Do not tape over: Do not attempt to repair the EVgo cable with tape or sealant; this is unsafe.
  • Inspect extent of damage: Note the location and length of damaged sections for the technician.
  • Prevent recurrence: Use a cable hanger or management system to keep the cable off the ground and away from vehicle tires.

Contact an EVgo‑authorized technician to replace the entire cable and handle assembly.
