Hi, I had an error code 32 on my charger (Elmec EV Duty EV30) and after trying other L2 chargers in my area, determined that it didn't seem to be the car (2018 LEAF). Elmec seemed to think that it was due to burnt contacts inside the ELmec plug - sure enough, there was burn marks inside the contacts - see picture. The car or charger recognizes that there is resistance and stops the charge. This was consistent with what I was seeing - it would start charging for a minute or so, then stop with the error.
Elmec sent me a replacement plug and cable assembly, no charge, which makes me think this may be a known issue....the new plug looks like a newer design.
Anyway, they suggested that I ensure that the charging has stopped before pulling the connector out from the car, and I'm not sure how to do this. The LEAF manual says to stop charging to just pull the connector out, but this is what would have caused the arc and burning of the connector. Anyone know of a way to stop the charge on the car before pulling the connector? Hoping to avoid the issue in the future.
Thanks,
