Why is my EV charging not working?
If you’re struggling to charge your EV, the fault could be with the charging point or cable. It’s a good idea to test out another method of charging to see if you’re having the same issue, or run a test through your charging app to identify problems. Connect it to your device and see how it charges. An authentic charger will charge your device at a consistent rate. If you notice that the charging speed is significantly slower or faster than usual, this could be a sign of a fake charger. Another red flag is overheating.A common culprit is often a faulty charging cable. Although it might appear fine externally, internal damage can quickly occur with regular use. This type of damage is not immediately visible because it involves the internal wiring, which can become frayed or broken due to bending, twisting, or pulling on the cable.
How to test for a faulty charging port?
Physically inspecting the charging port should be your first step. Your charger may not be able to make good contact with the charging port if there is any obvious damage or debris inside the port. Check the interior of the charging port with a flashlight for any dirt, dust, or lint. If you notice the light flickering, flashing, or extinguishing within seconds, something is wrong. The contact might be unstable, or the charger is dealing with an internal short. Occasionally, the issue is not the charger base, but the cable itself. Look for kinks, loose wiring, or wear.
