Troubleshooting

• If you encounter any issues with your charger, please follow the troubleshooting steps below:

Leakage Protection

• If the effective value of leakage current exceeds 22mA, the power supply will be cut off within 100ms without self-recovery. To restart, manually plug and unplug the three-pin plug of the power supply.

Overload Protection

• If the effective value of the current exceeds the overload protection current for 10 seconds, the overload protection will be carried out. The charger will recover automatically in 5 minutes.
  The number of self-recovery times is limited to 3 times. If the overload protection occurs for the 4th time, the power supply will not be restored. To restart, manually plug and unplug the power three-pin plug.

Short Circuit Protection

• If the voltage exceeds 275V, the charger will be protected and return a difference of 10V. It will recover automatically after the grid voltage is stable for 5 seconds.

Under-Voltage Protection

• If the voltage is below 85V, the charger will be protected and return a difference of 10V. It will recover automatically after the grid voltage is stable for 5 seconds.

Protection Feature

Leakage Protection:

• The effective value of leakage current exceeds 22mA, and the power supply will be cut off within 100ms without self-recovery. Manually plug and unplug the three-pin plug of the power supply to restart.

Overload Protection:

• When the effective value of the current exceeds the overload protection current for 10 seconds, the overload protection will be carried out, and the recovery will be carried out in 5 minutes. The number of self-recovery times is 3 times. The power supply will not be restored after the 4th overload protection. You need to manually plug and unplug the power three-pin plug to restart.

Short Circuit Protection:

• When the voltage exceeds 275V, it will be protected and return a difference of 10V and will recover automatically after the grid voltage is stable for 5s.

Under-Voltage Protection:

• When the voltage is below 85V, it will be protected and return a difference of 10V and will recover automatically after the grid voltage is stable for 5s.

Overheat Protection:

• When the temperature of the power plug or the internal temperature of the control box exceeds 185°F, it will enter the over-temperature protection, and it will recover when the temperature of the power plug and the internal temperature of the control box are lower than 149°F.

Overcurrent Protection:

• When the effective value of the current exceeds 2 times the rated current, the control box will be judged as a short circuit and will be protected within 500ms. It is necessary to manually plug and unplug the three-pin plug of the power supply to restart.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Why does it take so long to charge my EV?

A: There are 5 main factors that affect the charging time of electric vehicles.

1. The size of the battery. The larger your vehicle’s battery capacity (kWh), the longer it will take to charge.
2. The state of the battery. If you start charging from an empty battery, it will take longer than if you start charging from 60%.
3. The maximum charge rate of the vehicle. You can only charge your vehicle’s battery at the maximum charge rate that your vehicle will accept. For example, if your vehicle’s maximum charge rate is 3 kW, you will not charge faster with a 3.84 kW charger.
4. The maximum charge rate of the charger. The time it takes to charge will also be limited by the maximum charge rate of the ev charger you are using. For example, even if your vehicle can charge at 7 kW, it will only charge at 3.84 kW on a 3.84 kW charger.
5. Environmental factors. Lower ambient temperatures can make charging take slightly longer, especially when using a fast charger. Lower temperatures also mean that the vehicle is less efficient and therefore adds less mileage per charge.

Q2: Why did the charging speed become slow when the car is charged to about 80%?

• A : This is because of the charging characteristics of lithium batteries. When the energy of the battery reaches 80%, it will enter the tiny current charge state, and the current entering the battery will be limited which will protect the battery and extend its service life.

Q3: Will this product work for my EV?

• A : As long as the charging port of your electric/hybrid vehicle is J1772, this level 2 charger will work for your car. We will help you confirm if you’re not sure.

Q4: If the EV charger fails to charge or the indicator or display is abnormal, what after-sales service can I enjoy?

• A: Please send some pictures and videos to our official email. If there are quality problems with our charger, we will provide free maintenance service for you. All shipping and maintenance fees will be paid by BougeRV. Our technical team will repair the charger in 10 days.

Q5: Does the charger have the function of delayed charging or scheduled time charging?

• A: No, this charger does not have the above functions.

Q6: Is the charger waterproof? Can I use it outdoors?

• A : Yes, it can be used outdoors. The waterproof rating of the charging box is IP55 and the charging plug is IP44. But for safety and extending the life of the charger, we do not recommend using the charger outdoors under severe weather conditions.
