EV Charger Error

Roaming Authorization Failed

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

Your charging card or app uses roaming to connect to this network, but the roaming link failed. This is like using a phone abroad when roaming does not connect properly.

What to do

  1. Try authorizing again. Roaming failures are sometimes temporary
  2. Try a direct payment method like contactless card if the charger supports it
  3. Download the station's own network app as a backup
  4. Check with your charging provider if roaming covers this specific network

Who's responsible?

  • The charging network operator needs to fix this
