Schneider Electric Premature Charge Termination

Charger frequently reports 'charging complete' much earlier than expected, even though the vehicle battery is not full.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Vehicle-side charging control stopping early, Misinterpretation of pilot states, Overtemperature derating in EVlink, Intermittent CP signal drop

Safety first: No immediate hazard, but repeated interruptions should be investigated.

Check vehicle logs: Many EVs log charging session details; see if the vehicle reports a fault or user stop.
Monitor temperature: Feel the charger and cable during operation; if they become very warm, thermal derating may be causing early stops.
Try different current setting: Reduce the charger's maximum current and see if sessions complete normally.
Inspect CP wiring: A technician should check the control pilot wiring and connector for intermittent connections.
