How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Immediately stop using the charger if any conductor is visible or the insulation is deeply cut. Do not tape over high-voltage EV cables as a permanent fix.

  • 1. Inspect entire length:
    • Examine the cable from the charger housing to the J1772 handle.
  • 2. Determine severity:
    • Superficial scuffs may be monitored, but any deep cuts, cracks, or exposed metal require replacement.
  • 3. Replace cable assembly:
    • Order a compatible Megear J1772 cable assembly and have it installed, or replace the entire charger if the cable is not user-serviceable.

Do not attempt to splice or repair EVSE cables; they are safety-critical components.
