EV Charger Error

Connector Over Temperature (Alpitronic HYC)

Updated March 2026

Share

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

The temperature sensor in the Alpitronic Hypercharger's CCS connector detected excessive heat. The charger has reduced power or stopped charging to prevent damage to the connector and the vehicle's charge port.

What to do

  1. If charging continues at reduced power, wait for it to stabilize
  2. If charging stopped, unplug and let the connector cool for a few minutes before retrying
  3. Make sure the connector is fully inserted. A loose connection increases resistance and heat
  4. Report the issue if it happens repeatedly on the same charger

Who's responsible?

  • This is likely a charger hardware issue
