Why Does My EV Charger Show an Over Temperature Error?
Heat accumulated past the model’s own limit and the charger stopped to protect itself. The cause classes behind the message, and how to respond.
As an expert in the charging pile industry, EVDANCE has rich experience in the development and manufacturing of intelligent EV charging solutions. This is where we turn our engineering insights into knowledge and share them with the global EV community.

Heat accumulated past the model’s own limit and the charger stopped to protect itself. The cause classes behind the message, and how to respond.

E01 is just the first slot in one maker’s error table — and every maker fills it differently. Why only your exact model’s manual can decode it.

New trips on an installation that worked for months mean something changed — a connection, the breaker, the loads or the car. Record the pattern; do not reset through it.

An RCD that trips during charging is doing its job: it sees earth leakage beyond its design. The pattern — when it trips — points to the layer an electrician should check.

Overnight sessions meet small events nobody sees — a supply dip, a closing window, a pause. Many chargers do not resume alone; the lost night is the resume behaviour.

The rating is a ceiling, not your session’s speed. Divide the energy delivered by the charging hours to get your real rate — then compare it with each limit in the chain.

A 22 kW charger delivers its rating across three phases. A single-phase car uses one of them — about a third, near 7 kW. The other causes, and how to tell them apart.

3.6 kW is one phase’s share of an 11 kW three-phase charger. Either your car takes one phase, or the unit was fed with one — one test with a second car separates the two.

The charger advertises 32 A; the car decides what to draw. A 16 A result comes from the car’s own limit, a 16 A cable, or a 16 A setting — check them in that order.

A charger that paired once but keeps dropping is usually living on a marginal signal. The phone test, the band question and the router-change trigger — in evidence order.
