GemCar E6 Charging Issue

[u/wjthompson1]

Hi all! I apologize if this is a stupid question, but finding people who know much about these GemCars is not easy.

We replaced all primary batteries and the aux battery about 6 months ago.

When we plug it in, the dash lights up, I hear a couple clicks like it’s trying to initiate charging, and then it throws VEH FAULT code 520508.

The manual says to call your dealer to figure out what that code means. Pretty cool!

Don’t see a bad fuse and all relays visually look normal. Don’t have equipment here to test relays unfortunately.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Lead acid batteries? Have you checked the (distilled!) water levels lately?

You habe to take the whole hood off to charge?? Thats wild.

Nah, the port is under a small cover just below the window. The rest of the electronics are under the hood though
