How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Damaged EV cables are a serious shock and fire hazard. Isolate power and do not use the charger until the cable is replaced.

  • 1. Inspect full length: Examine the entire tethered cable from charger exit to plug for cuts, bulges, or exposed wires.
  • 2. Check strain relief: Ensure the cable gland or strain relief at the charger is intact and not allowing excessive movement.
  • 3. Do not tape over damage: Do not attempt to repair the cable with tape or heat-shrink; the entire cable assembly must be replaced.
  • 4. Replace tethered cable: Disconnect the cable from internal terminals or plug-in connector (as per Vestel design) and install a new Vestel-approved tethered cable assembly.
  • 5. Educate on cable handling: Advise the user to store the cable on the provided holster and avoid driving over it.
