Cannot charge EV at home in Louisville
What a failed home charge may mean
A home charging failure may involve the vehicle, charging equipment, the connection, or the home's electrical supply. Check only normal vehicle and charger controls, visible status lights, and any clear message shown by the equipment. Do not open electrical equipment or attempt electrical repairs.
Possible reasons charging is not starting
The problem could be with the vehicle's charging settings, the charging unit or cable, the connection between them, or the circuit supplying the charger. A qualified electrician can assess the installation and determine whether the existing setup supports the charging equipment.
When to stop troubleshooting
Contact a qualified electrician if charging repeatedly fails, the charger or outlet becomes unusually hot, or you notice smoke, sparking, or a burning smell. Stop using the equipment if there is an immediate safety concern. Do not remove covers, access wiring, or dismantle the charger.

What to ask an EV charger electrician
Ask whether the electrician handles EV charger troubleshooting as well as installation, what they will inspect before recommending work, whether the existing circuit and connection are suitable, and what work is included in the estimate. Share the charger model, the vehicle model, the error message if one appears, and what happens when you try to charge.

Record the charger or vehicle message, note whether the problem happens every time, and avoid electrical repairs on your own.
