EV Charger Error

Screen Broken or Unresponsive

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 charger's touchscreen is cracked, dark, or unresponsive. You may not be able to interact with the charger, but some chargers can still be started via the network's app or an RFID card even with a broken screen.

What to do

  1. Try starting the session via the charging network's app or by tapping an RFID card
  2. Look for a QR code on the charger body that may link to app-based activation
  3. If the charger does not respond at all, move to a different unit
  4. Report the broken screen to the charging network

Who's responsible?

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