EV charge inlet replacement needs more than a matching appearance

Charge inlet assemblies can differ by vehicle configuration even when the visible socket looks similar. An enquiry should identify both the vehicle and the proposed replacement before purchase.

How to approach the assessment

A part-number check is only part of the job. The workshop needs to establish installation requirements, any applicable setup and the appropriate functional checks. Do not transfer wiring between unmatched assemblies to make a donor fit.

Useful details to send

  • Original part number if already documented.
  • Donor label and source.
  • Reason the original inlet was condemned.

Arrange the right assessment

This is enquiry guidance, not a high-voltage repair procedure. Do not open battery packs or work on high-voltage equipment. Agree the vehicle assessment and transport arrangements with the receiving workshop first.

Ask AXION about your repair or read our EV and hybrid assessment information. Workshop visits are by appointment in Didcot. Confirm suitability before posting any removed module.
