EV Charger Error

Cable Over Temperature (Tritium)

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 Tritium charger's liquid-cooled cable detected excessive heat. Power has been reduced or charging has stopped to prevent cable damage.

What to do

  1. If charging continues at reduced power, the cable is cooling itself. Wait for it to stabilize
  2. If charging stopped, unplug and let the cable rest for a few minutes
  3. Do not coil or kink the cable while charging. This can trap heat
  4. If the cable feels unusually hot to the touch, report it to the network immediately

Who's responsible?

  • This is likely a charger hardware issue
