Possible Causes

Welded relay contacts due to overload, Coil failure in main contactor, Loose wiring between relay board and power terminals, Faulty relay drive circuit on control PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Internal relays switch high current. Do not attempt to open the housing unless you are a qualified technician; risk of electric shock and fire.

  • 1. Power-cycle:
    • Unplug from mains and vehicle, wait 5 minutes, then reconnect.
    • Listen for the relay click when starting a charge; absence of a click may indicate a stuck or failed relay.
  • 2. Check for overheating signs:
    • Inspect the plug and cable for burn marks or melted plastic that might indicate past overload.
  • 3. Try lower current:
    • Set a lower current limit in the app and attempt to start charging.
    • If E10 persists, the relay is likely mechanically or electrically damaged.
  • 4. Professional service:
    • Internal relay/contactors must be replaced with identical, EVSE-rated components.
    • Contact NRGkick or an authorized service center for relay board replacement.
