So I went today to plug in at an L2 and found the plug would not fit in my car. Odd I thought. After inspecting both the EVSE plug and looking at the J1772 port in my car, I notice what appears to be the melted remains of part of the plug on the public charger I used last Friday.
It looks like high heat degraded the plastic of the EVSE handle allowing it to snap off, and melted part of the J1772 plug in my car, bonding them together. I tried to pull out using a pair of needle nose pliers but no go.
The car charged just fine using a CHAdeMO.
Is this an easy fix, or something Nissan is going to charge an arm and leg for? Should I continue to try to worm it free using pliers?
