Possible Causes

Loss of connection to Land Rover backend or third-party OCPP server, Incorrect OCPP server URL or credentials, Firewall or router blocking outbound connections, Faulty communication processor on charger control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety warning: This is a communication issue; electrical safety is usually unaffected. Do not open live equipment.

  • 1. Test basic charging: Disable smart scheduling in the app and attempt a manual start. If manual charging works, the issue is limited to backend communication.
  • 2. Check internet access: Ensure your home internet is online and stable. Reboot the router if necessary.
  • 3. Verify OCPP settings: In the Land Rover charger app or installer menu, confirm the OCPP server address, port, and credentials are correct.
  • 4. Check firewall/router: Ensure outbound ports required by the charger (refer to manual) are not blocked by your router or firewall.
  • 5. Power-cycle charger: Turn off the breaker for 2–3 minutes, then restore power and allow several minutes for reconnection.
  • 6. If E13 persists: Contact Land Rover support to verify backend status. If the backend is healthy, a communication processor or firmware fault may require professional service.
