Kia home charger powers on but will not start charging; vehicle shows 'charging station error' with no code on the charger.

Safety first: Do not attempt to bend pins with metal tools while connected to power.

• 1. Unplug and replug: Disconnect the cable from the vehicle, wait 10 seconds, and reconnect firmly until you hear the vehicle port lock engage.
• 2. Inspect connector: Look for dirt, corrosion, or bent pins on the Type 2 plug. Clean with a dry brush and compressed air if available.
• 3. Try another charger: Test your vehicle at a public charger. If it charges normally, focus on the home charger.
• 4. Adjust current setting: If your Kia charger allows current adjustment, set it to a lower value (e.g., 16 A) and test again.
• 5. Firmware update: Use the Kia app or service interface to check for and install the latest charger firmware.
