This is general guidance based on the ChargeX MREC standard. Actual charger behavior varies by manufacturer and firmware version. Always follow on-screen instructions and contact the charging network if you are unsure.

Warning

What to do

  1. Check if the charger vents are blocked by debris, snow, or ice
  2. Try a different charger at the same location
  3. Report the issue to the charging network so they can schedule maintenance
  4. This is a hardware fault. There is nothing a driver can do to fix it

Who's responsible?

  • This is likely a charger hardware issue
  • The charging network operator needs to fix this
