First isolate whether the fault is the site, vehicle, software or charger. Check the cause, evidence to keep, recovery steps, and escalation.

Start here

A charger warranty claim becomes much easier when you can show the same fault across controlled tests. Do not repeatedly reset a unit that is hot, burnt, water-damaged, arcing or tripping protective devices. Isolate it safely and obtain qualified electrical inspection.

What applies to this exact problem

Symptom	Likely layer to test first	Evidence
No power / breaker trips	Supply, circuit, earthing, protection	Electrician/installer test results
Powers on, vehicle will not charge	Connector, compatibility, vehicle/charger fault codes	Error codes and known-good comparison
Energy flows but app/payment fails	Network, backend, account/payment	Session ID, timestamps, screenshots
Fault repeats on known-good supply and vehicle	Charger hardware	Serial, diagnostics, video and service report

Build a claim packet before the first escalation

Charger model and serial number.
Purchase/installation invoice and warranty terms.
Installer details and commissioning record.
Photos of installation, protection devices and connector condition.
Dated error codes, session IDs and videos.
Tests performed and their results.

Ask the manufacturer to state the diagnosis, whether the claim is accepted, and who bears removal, labour, transport and reinstallation costs. “Part covered under warranty” does not automatically answer labour or logistics.

Keep site warranty and product warranty separate

If undersized wiring, earthing or a protective-device issue caused the fault, the charger manufacturer may not own the remedy. Conversely, an installer should not dismiss a verified internal hardware failure as “site power”. Get each party’s diagnosis in writing.

Escalate a specific consumer remedy

If a paid product/service provider fails to resolve a documented warranty issue, use the National Consumer Helpline where appropriate. For EV scheme issues, the PM E‑DRIVE portal is relevant only when the problem actually concerns the scheme—not an ordinary hardware warranty dispute.

Decision rule: prove which layer fails, stop unsafe use, and ask for one concrete remedy. A good warranty file is a diagnostic record, not a folder of angry screenshots.

Check these first

Reconcile the final balance first; closure paperwork cannot fix an account that is not actually at zero.
Treat the NOC, returned originals, registered security release, and bureau update as separate closure jobs.
Verify each external record independently instead of assuming one closure letter updates everything.

Fix it in this order

Reconcile the final balance first; closure paperwork cannot fix an account that is not actually at zero.
Treat the NOC, returned originals, registered security release, and bureau update as separate closure jobs.
Capture vehicle model, VIN, battery/charger serial where available, odometer, warning codes, and the exact symptom.
Ask the authorised service centre for diagnostic findings and the warranty clause used for approval or denial.
Separate normal range variation from a measurable fault using repeatable conditions, charging logs, error codes, or state-of-health evidence.
Keep invoices, job cards, firmware/service history, and photographs of warnings or damage.
For subsidy/incentive issues, verify model eligibility, invoice treatment, registration details, and portal status independently.

Build the proof pack

Purchase invoice and warranty
Job cards/diagnostic report
Charging/range/error evidence
Subsidy or portal application record where relevant

Avoid making the case harder

Opening or repairing high-voltage components yourself
Accepting a warranty denial without the clause/reason
Assuming brochure range is guaranteed in every condition

How you know it is really fixed

The lender ledger is closed, required originals are reconciled, and any applicable security record is released.
A fresh credit/registry record no longer contradicts the closure evidence.

If it is still not fixed

Manufacturer/dealer grievance
Scheme/portal helpdesk when incentive-related
Consumer remedy for unresolved product/service disputes
