Possible Causes

Loose pilot or proximity conductor in cable, Intermittent contact in J1772 handle, Cable damaged by repeated flexing, Marginal contactor coil connection

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn OFF power before internal inspection.

  • Wiggle test: While charging (with caution and without touching live parts), gently move the cable near the handle and at the strain relief to see if charging cuts out, indicating an internal break.
  • Inspect terminations: With power OFF, check that all cable conductors (including pilot and proximity) are firmly secured at the control board.
  • Examine handle: Look for cracks or looseness in the J1772 handle housing that could indicate internal contact issues.
  • Resolution: Replace the EV charging cable assembly if any intermittent behavior is confirmed.
