Does that release the plug?

Trying to charge my car using my recently installed sync ev unit. Have had no issues but now just have flashing blue light from ev unit but app wont seem to charge car.

Only thing that happened is electricity tripped over weekend but that was justca couple of seconds , car wasn't charing at the time. I'm new to this ev stuff so has anyone any ideas? Tks

Tried that...no joy.

Have continuous blue light on sync charger but once I plug it goes to blue flashing light.

Tried instant charging but car kerosene saying "checking in progress" and just hangs doing nothing.

It's a reno etech si maybe that's the problem! Battery is a 4% so don't fancy driving ti public charger to test incase that doesn't work either

Plugged in granny cable and it appears to be working..."checking in progress " error has gone and looks like its charging.....thanks!

Yep I guess so...now the next job is to try and get Fokearn out to take a look....

Anytime I drove around Adamstown I noticed a lot of pedestal chargers on the paths at parking spaces and assumed they had a very forward looking management company and council who allowed installing them, apparently not.

So now the management company are going to remove them? It'll be interesting to see how they propose to remove the isolator safely as it's wired directly back to a private consumer unit which presumably they will not be getting access to unless they plan to involve ESBN to fully cut the power.

Ehh, another thread borked… :-(

They've told the residents to remove them. I don't know what leverage they have over the residents to force them to do this, but you'd assume they'd have some way to pressure them.

I can see the problem obviously the allocated parking I.e these folks are basically laying claim to parking spots they don't own. But there's zero means for the MC to get any access to the CB inside. So no company is going to touch it. At best they can try revoking parking permits I presume.

The isolator will still be live unless isolated at the consumer unit which is presumably inside the private property.

Exactly, but presumably if the MC want the charger removed, they want everything removed, pedestal, isolator, cable and ground reinstated as it was.

It would be unsafe to work on the live isolator and cable, hence my original scepticism that they'd actually be able to do it without homeowners cooperation.

Original installers should be called back to remove and refund issued to residents.

You can't run private cable under a public footpath as per ESBN regs.

Seems a bit silly of the home owners to go to the expense of installing chargers and buying EVs without checking with the management company first.

The only thing that makes sense is that other members of the Management company have demanded their removal. It might be because some owners have essentially laid claim to a communal space

I've a BG Sync charger, which got installed a few weeks ago. I am changing internet provider this week so I will need to change the wifi which the charger is connected to. Has anybody had to do this? Any idea how to do it!?
