Check the fuse list/diagram - both inside the car and the engine bay... It seems to me that the one controlling the central locking has nothing to do with the charging flap.

However, one might try to "reset" the charging system by pulling out fuse #3 in the engine compartment - see attached. (not sure if that's wise to do or not)
There's also fuse #28 in the dashboard, but it's specifically mentioned "The fuse may only be replaced by a specialist garage", so I wouldn't play with that...

This worked for me.

 

Battery: 53% charge

When I plugged the EV cable into the car, the white light at the charge port went off. Plugged the other end into Podpoint. Juggled the cables in/out etc and nothing was working.

 

I popped the bonnet and pulled the fuse in position 3 (it’s marked as a ‘10’ amp fuse in the fuse box). 3 or 4 seconds later there was an audible ‘clunk’ somewhere in the engine compartment, then I put the fuse back in and tried the EV cable again. Worked first time.

I can also confirm that pulling fuse in position 3 for few second worked. I had this problem first time about 5 months ago, also drained 12v battery. After jump-start was OK and service did not find any cause. 

 

Did not find any help from internet last time but today problem occured again and luckily found this discussion :)

Nice to know there's a way to reset it without having to wait for battery to go flat.

 

I'll remember the fuse 3 next time it happens....there will be a next time 😅

Thanks, pulling Fuse 3 just worked for me 😀

Thank you, the fuse 3 trick seems to have worked for me as well

Same problem, fuse 3 still doing it's magic.

Is there a software update on the horizon?

Hi all, since my last post I have had the charging socket replaced by the main dealer once the parts were finally allowed into the country. This was all done under warranty and since then which was now over 6 months ago I have had no more issues at all.
