Solution
1. Preparation
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the charging cable is disconnected.
  • Tools Required: None for preparation.
2. Inspect Charging Cable
  • Visually inspect the entire length of the charging cable for any signs of damage, such as fraying or melting.
  • If damage is found, replace the charging cable with a new one.
3. Test Charging Station
  • Use a multimeter to measure the voltage at the charging station. Ensure it is within the expected range (typically 240V for Level 2 chargers).
  • If the voltage is outside the acceptable range, contact the charging station provider for repairs.
4. Update Vehicle Software
  • Connect the vehicle to Wi-Fi and check for software updates through the vehicle's touchscreen.
  • Follow on-screen instructions to install any available updates.
5. Reset Battery Management System
  • Power off the vehicle completely by pressing and holding the brake pedal while selecting "Power Off" through the vehicle settings.
  • Wait for at least 2 minutes before restarting the vehicle to refresh the battery management system.
