In reply to Bob Fisch. Hey I'm very interested what the reasen is for the failure. My ZOE MY2013 does sometimes refuse to charge too. Maybe your learnings can help to repair chargers like mine too instead of creating lots of trash and costs. Thank you for your work and if I can help as a electrical Ing. pleas let me know.

I had a similar issue on my 2015 Q210 a few months ago. No way I was paying €4K to replace the entire block when the garage couldn’t even say what was wrong. I got an independent garage to investigate and replace the specific part which was a filter – for much less. I ran around in circles with Renault for some time on it and they finally admitted they won’t allow their dealers (at least here in Ireland) to open the block – must replace the entire unit only. I just find it crazy and illogical.

In reply to Stefano. As it is quite heavy so it will for sure be not very cheap to send to Italy. Anyway, before giving it away, I want to take a look inside myself :-D

Comment on Resetting the charger from an error situation by ZOE Q210

In reply to Helmut.

Hello Helmut,

I have been driving the ZOE Q210 for about 1.5 years now. I have presented the BCI problem to other garages, including in Hamburg. No solution.

However, I have made the following discovery. It helps tremendously if you turn off the air conditioning and heating before you try to charge.
So: 3 to 4 minutes before you want to charge, turn off the air conditioning / heating system completely. With this trick, the ZOE then charges without problems. Not quite full, but it charges. (At 85% or 90% is usually the end).
Why this works, I do not know. Maybe because the charging unit “Chamaeleon” is installed together with the climate unit. But it works a little better with it in everyday life.
It still has dropouts now and then when charging. In 90 percent of cases, however, this procedure leads to success.

Air conditioning off, then charging! 🙂
