How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Danger: Damaged insulation can expose live conductors. Do not use the charger.
- Stop using immediately: If any copper is visible or the cable jacket is deeply cracked, disconnect the charger from power at the breaker.
- Inspect full length: Check the entire cable from charger to Type 2 plug for damage, including strain reliefs at both ends.
- Do not tape over: Do not attempt to repair EVSE cables with tape or heat-shrink; replacement is required.
- Replace cable assembly: Have a Mini-authorized technician replace the entire tethered cable assembly with an approved part.
After replacement, ensure the new cable is routed to avoid pinch points and excessive bending.
