Fixing a High Amperage EV Charger isn’t as Daunting as it Looks, Service Call #electrician

What happens here

After gaining access, the electrician visually inspects the wiring and confirms that the charging cable itself is damaged, specifically at the connector end. The customer provides additional context, explaining that their electric Cadillac rolled down the driveway on a cold, icy day while still plugged into the charger, causing the damage to the EV charging plug and cable.

Goal: Identify the damaged component and understand the circumstances of the damage.
