Charger doesn't recognise car

What to do in case your charger doesn't communicate with your car

How to check if there is a connection issue between the charger and your car

Option 1: When using a charging card

  1. Swipe your charging card. The charger should go from "Available" (green) to "Preparing" (yellow).
    ​

  2. Plug in your car. If the charger stays "Preparing", it means the charger does not see the car.

Option 2: When using Autostart

  1. Plug in your car. If the charger stays "Available" (green), it means the charger does not see the car.

How to solve

Some options:

  1. Make sure your car's charging port is fully unlocked. The locking pin may block the charging cable from fully entering the charging port.
    ​

  2. Check your car's charging port for dirt or corrosion.
    ​

  3. Check your charging cable for dirt or corrosion.
    ​

  4. If you use your own charging cable, try a different one.

If this fails, there may be a problem with your car or with the charging cable. Contact your installer.
