Charging problems
Ok - having some Zoe charging issues.
Here is the context:
- Ohme tethered charger
- 2018 ze40 Zoe
- 2 or 3 times recently charge interrupted with the circuit breaker & RCD tripping
- today Zoe will not charge….
However- we have another EV which
- this charges ok but did trip the breaker once
Until recently - for over 15 months- the breaker has never tripped.
So- the Zoe will not charge. This is what happens:
- Zoe gets plugged in.
- Ohme sets a schedule
- it usually attempts a short 5 second charge but this doesn’t happen
- i get a text from Renault team to say battery locked or car unplugged…
If I granny charge the Zoe, it works straightaway and charges fine
If I plug the Ohme in and instruct it to Max Charge - the ZE led indicator on the charge port flashes blue for around a minute, then charges to Red. The car doesn’t proceed past Ongoing Checks….
I don’t get an error - it just never really connects to Ohme.
I’d put the tripping down to a fault in the car - but found shorter charging sessions did not cause the trip. If this was an earth issue - could I expect the charging impossible error? Charger has been reset, car locked for 20mins.
And ideas would be welcome .
