2.5 

The plug at the EATON xChargeIn does not unlock 

Possible causes 

Solution 

The charging process was not completed by 
the vehicle 

Complete the charging process according to 
the instructions of the vehicle manufacturer 

The plug may possibly not unlock due to 
tension 

Press the plug in briefly and connect again to 
the vehicle. Then end the charging 
procedure again 

2.6 

The vehicle is not (fully) charged 

Possible causes 

Solution 

Power reduction due to excessive 
temperature by the vehicle or the charging 
station 

 Protect the vehicle and the charging 

station from direct sunlight during the 
charging procedure (carport, garage etc.) 

 Visual inspection of the plug and socket 

device to see if it is dirty, worn or damaged 

 If the problem persists, please contact 

your dealer or service partner 

No enable due to external control device 
(energy supplier, photovoltaic system etc.) 

Check whether any control devices are 
preventing charging at specific times 

2.7 

Authorization at the EATON xChargeIn expires upon plugging in the cord at the 
vehicle 

Die Erfahrung zeigt, dass durch so 
genanntes “Kontaktprellen” im Fahrzeug bei 
manchen Fahrzeugtypen eine zuvor erfolgte 
Autorisierung an der Wallbox erlöschen 
kann. Dieser Effekt kann auftreten, wenn 
eine Ladesitzung zuerst autorisiert und erst 
danach das Ladekabel am Fahrzeug 
angesteckt wird. 

Stecken Sie Ladekabel zuerst an Wallbox 
und Fahrzeug an und autorisieren Sie die 
Ladung erst anschließend.
