How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety warning: Damaged cable insulation is a serious shock and fire hazard. Do not use the charger until the cable is replaced.

  • 2. Inspect full length: Run your hand along the entire cable to locate all damaged areas.
  • 3. Do not tape over: Do not attempt to repair EV charging cables with tape or generic heat-shrink; they must be replaced as a complete assembly.

  • 5. Have it installed: For tethered wallboxes, a qualified technician should replace and test the new cable assembly.
