Possible Causes

Non-standard EVSE protocol implementation in vehicle, Damaged vehicle inlet electronics, Firmware incompatibility, Pilot signal tolerance mismatch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not attempt to modify the vehicle inlet or charger connector.

  • Test with another EV: If another vehicle charges normally, the issue is likely with the original EV’s onboard charger or communication.
  • Check vehicle software: Ensure the EV has the latest software/firmware from the manufacturer.
  • Update charger firmware: Install the latest Splitvolt firmware to improve compatibility with newer vehicles.
  • Try a different EVSE: If the vehicle charges fine on other stations but not on the Splitvolt, contact Splitvolt with vehicle details for compatibility support.
