Repeat the charging process. Remove the charging cable from charging station and car, then reconnect them. Then scan the charge card/drop at the charge post. Does this not work? Then the charging station is malfunctioning, find a new charging station.

Is the car still not charging? Check the following points:

- Any messages on the car's dashboard.

The car's dashboard shows whether the car is charging, and if there are any problems. For example, it may say 'charging has malfunction' or 'car is preparing to charge'. Do what the dashboard indicates.


Still doesn't work:

- Try another charging station
