Unstable grid conditions are the most common cause of OBC failure, especially on the Renault ZOE with the Q drive system. A case from Serbia a few months ago remained unresolved because an explosion destroyed a significant part of the EMI filter PCB. At the time, we assumed it was an isolated incident. However, another case has…

This vehicle has only covered 150,000 km and first error popped up at 104,000 km that battery is in defect immediately after warranty end, yet it requires…

This vehicle serves as yet another example of why some hybrid systems struggle to offer a sustainable long-term solution. After monitoring internal reports and Nissan owner groups, we have observed that the so-called “self-charging hybrid” frequently experiences failures. One particular case involved an electric generator motor failure at just 10,000 km—and this is not an isolated incident.…
