Why won’t my electric vehicle charge?
Charging failure can originate in the electrical supply, connector, charge schedule, 12-volt system, communication handshake, thermal limits, onboard charger, or high-voltage system.
Plausible causes
- Supply or EVSE fault
- Charge schedule or limit
- 12-volt system fault
- Port/communication/onboard charger fault
Useful next checks
- Try a known-working compatible charger only when no hazard is present
- Record vehicle and charger messages
- Do not open high-voltage components
