How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Damaged insulation can expose live conductors. Do not continue using a damaged cable.

  • 1. Stop using immediately:
    • Unplug from mains and vehicle.
  • 2. Inspect extent of damage:
    • If any conductor is visible or the damage is deep, the cable must be replaced.
  • 3. Do not tape over damage:
    • Temporary tape repairs are unsafe for EV charging currents and voltages.
  • 4. Replace cable assembly:
    • Contact NRGkick support for a replacement cable or charger unit, depending on design.
