Ola Electric Charging Infrastructure: troubleshooting and FAQs
Troubleshooting tips and frequently asked questions for Ola Electric Charging Infrastructure.
Troubleshooting tips
If your Ola Electric vehicle isn't charging at a public station, first check if the station's connector is compatible with your vehicle's charging port. Ola's proprietary Hypercharger network uses a specific connector, while other public chargers may use CCS2 or Type 2. If incompatible, use the Ola app to locate a nearby Hypercharger or a compatible station.
When charging at home, ensure the wall socket is properly grounded and can handle the load. If the charger trips the circuit breaker, try a different socket or have an electrician check the wiring. Also, avoid using extension cords as they can cause voltage drops and slow charging.
If the charging cable is not locking into the port, inspect the port for debris or damage. Gently clean it with a dry cloth. If the issue persists, contact Ola support for a replacement cable or port inspection.
If your vehicle's charging status is not updating in the Ola app, ensure the app is updated to the latest version and that your vehicle's connectivity (via the Ola app or in-dash) is active. Sometimes, a simple app restart or vehicle reboot (turning the vehicle off and on) can sync the status.
If you experience slow charging at a public station, check if the station is operating at reduced power due to high demand or maintenance. Try another station or charge during off-peak hours. Also, ensure your vehicle's battery is not too hot or too cold, as extreme temperatures can reduce charging speed.
