What are the reasons why the BYD Qin cannot be charged?

The reasons why the BYD Qin cannot be charged are: the charger is damaged, the charging circuit is faulty, or the battery life has expired. If the issue is with the charger or the battery, they can be directly replaced. Taking the 2020 BYD Qin as an example, it belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions of: length 4675mm, width 1770mm, height 1500mm, and a wheelbase of 2670mm. The 2020 BYD Qin features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a permanent magnet motor, delivering a maximum power of 100kW and a maximum torque of 180Nm, paired with a 1-speed fixed gear ratio transmission.
When I first drove the BYD Qin, I also encountered charging issues. After several attempts, I found there were quite a few possible causes. The most common is that the charging gun isn't plugged in securely or the charging station is faulty—trying a different station can rule this out. It could also be a setting issue, like incorrect scheduled charging time or the vehicle's charging function being accidentally turned off; check the charging settings in the central control screen. Another possibility is debris or moisture in the charging port causing poor contact—cleaning the port might solve it. If the battery temperature is too high or too low, such as in extreme winter or summer, the battery management system may activate self-protection and prevent charging. Additionally, if the battery is deeply discharged (e.g., completely drained), it may need to be reactivated with slow charging before it can charge normally. Lastly, hardware failures like a damaged charging module or high-voltage wiring issues require diagnosis at a 4S shop.
