Troubleshooting

The EV charger is not receiving power.

Check the main switch and RCBO to ensure they are switched on. Verify that the incoming power supply is active and that the wiring is correctly connected.

The SPD might have absorbed a surge and needs replacing. Contact a qualified electrician to inspect and replace the SPD.
