If your EV-ACT5006T still will not start a session after the standard checks — power, connector, car settings, one breaker reset — the fastest route to a fix is sending support the right evidence the first time. Five items decide most cases: the serial number, the fault indication, which version you have, what changed, and whether another car works on the unit.
Key Takeaways
- Run the standard checks once; if they fail, stop experimenting and start recording.
- Send support the serial number, the fault indication before any reset, your version and breaker size, what changed, and the cross-test result.
- Never open the enclosure or keep resetting a tripping breaker.
- Unit faults sit with the 3-year warranty; installation faults sit with the installation — the evidence tells support which one you have.
First, the Short Version of the Standard Checks
This article starts where the checklist ends. If you have not run it yet, work through the driver’s checklist for a charger that is not working first — most “dead” chargers are a tripped breaker, an unseated connector or a schedule set in the car. Two safety rules override everything below:
- Heat, smell, scorch marks or damage: stop using the unit and call an electrician. Do not keep testing.
- A breaker that trips again after one reset: leave it off. Repeated tripping is a fault to be found, not a setting to be forced — see why a charger keeps tripping the breaker.
What to Record Before You Contact Support
| Item | Where to find it | Why support asks |
|---|---|---|
| Model and serial number | Photo of the rating label on the unit | Identifies the exact unit, its version and its production batch |
| Fault indication | The indicator state or message at the failed start — photo or short video, taken before any reset | The pattern points at the failing system; a reset erases it. Background: why a charger flashes red |
| Version and circuit | Hardwired or NEMA 14-50P version; breaker size from your install paperwork (60 A at full 48 A output) | Separates an installation problem from a unit problem |
| What changed | Power cut, new car, recent update, recent electrical work — anything since it last worked | A start failure that follows a change is usually traced to the change |
| Cross-test result | Does another car start on this charger? Does your car start on another charger? | Halves the problem in one step: car side or charger side |
What Not to Do
- Do not open the enclosure. There are no owner-serviceable parts inside a wall charger; opening it is a safety risk and can void the warranty.
- Do not swap parts from another unit. Cables, connectors and boards are part of the certified configuration; mixing them helps nobody diagnose the fault.
- Do not keep resetting. One power-cycle is a check. The fifth is not — it is a fault being ignored.
How the Warranty Route Works
EVDANCE chargers carry a 3-year standard warranty. Send the five items above through the contact page or your seller, with your purchase record and install date. Support works from the evidence: if the unit is at fault, the remedy under the warranty is repair or replacement; if the evidence points at the circuit or the car, you get that answer with the reason, which is what your electrician or dealer needs next. If you bought through an installer or distributor, route the claim through them — they hold the order record and can usually move it faster.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the serial number on the EV-ACT5006T?
On the rating label on the unit, with the model name and electrical ratings. Send a photo of the whole label rather than typing the number — no transcription errors.
The charger worked yesterday and nothing changed. What then?
Record that too — “no change” is evidence. Then do the cross-test: another car on your charger, or your car on another charger. The result decides whether support looks at the unit or points you to the car.
Is a charger that will not start covered by warranty?
A unit fault within the warranty period is covered under the 3-year standard warranty. Installation faults — a failing breaker or a worn outlet — are not the charger’s warranty; they belong to the installation, which is why the version and circuit details matter.
