Possible Causes

Incompatible vehicle communication, Faulty Schneider EVlink firmware or configuration, Damaged CP circuit filtering components, Incorrect maximum current configuration on EVlink board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not work on live circuits. Turn off the EVlink charger at the supply breaker.

  • Check vehicle compatibility: Confirm your vehicle supports Mode 3 AC charging and is compatible with Schneider EVlink home chargers. Some imported vehicles may require firmware updates.
  • Power cycle the charger: Turn off the breaker for 2 minutes, then restore power. This resets the EVlink controller and may clear transient communication faults.
  • Verify configuration: If your EVlink model has DIP switches or a configuration interface (web or app), confirm the maximum current and grid settings match your installation (single-phase vs three-phase, 16 A vs 32 A).
  • Test with another EV: If possible, connect a different EV. If E03 only occurs with one vehicle, the issue may be on the vehicle side.
  • Firmware update: Consult Schneider Electric documentation or support to check if a firmware update is available for your EVlink model to improve vehicle compatibility.
  • Technician involvement: If E03 persists with multiple vehicles and correct configuration, a technician should test the CP PWM waveform and replace the EVlink control board if the signal is distorted.
