VERIFY / FIELD NOTE 29
CONNECTED DECISIONS
Confirm the energy system through the battery and charging guide. Carry moisture concerns into the water-exposure inspection. Check regional operation through the software and region route.
Record VIN, production date, PHEV or EV identity, inlet labels, supplied cable and relevant software. Never apply an EV charging claim to a plug-in-hybrid candidate or a later version to an earlier production record.
Follow the correct shutdown procedure. Photograph the door, hinge, latch, seal, cap, pin faces, labels and adjacent body cavity without probing energized contacts. Record heat marks, deformation, residue, repair or missing parts.
Check drain paths and surrounding trim for blockage, staining, deposits or corrosion. A dry surface after washing or detailing does not rule out prior moisture reaching terminals, the lock mechanism or wiring.
With correct equipment, record recognition, mechanical locking, charge start, normal stop and release. Never pull against a locked connector or improvise an emergency release. Preserve warnings and session messages before clearing.
Record cable rating, charger identity, supply, session status and diagnostics. Repeat with known-suitable equipment when safe so an external failure is not assigned to the car, then document the destination cable and recovery plan.
HANDOVER FILE
BUYER SCENARIO
Test a candidate after ordinary storage and again with the exact supplied cable. If there is a history of washing, deep water or body repair near the inlet, expand inspection to surrounding cavities and low-voltage control. A successful short AC session does not prove every advertised charge route or destination network.
Stress the result by assuming “Trace moisture and drainage” reveals a conflict, “Observe the full connection cycle” is delayed, or “Separate vehicle, cable and charger faults” changes before custody. Rework the cost, timing and stop condition using lock, charge and release observation, charger, cable and diagnostic record, destination compatibility and replacement plan. A different VIN, propulsion route or installed configuration starts a new candidate record. The conclusion for Tai 7 Charge Inlet, Cable Lock and Water Checks must explain how VIN-linked propulsion and inlet identity and close inlet and drain photographs support or limit the selected route.
CLOSE THE FILE
For Tai 7 Charge Inlet, Cable Lock and Water Checks, reconcile VIN-linked propulsion and inlet identity, close inlet and drain photographs, lock, charge and release observation, charger, cable and diagnostic record, destination compatibility and replacement plan. Mark each item verified, seller-stated, estimated or unresolved, and put a responsible person and expiry date beside the open work. Keep commercial rows separate so a change in one assumption does not silently rewrite the whole conclusion.
Immediately before payment or handover, repeat “Identify propulsion and installed hardware” and confirm that the candidate still matches the reviewed record. Preserve the VIN, odometer, visible condition, keys, documents and relevant energy state. If the vehicle or a material specification changes, close this file and begin a new one.
OFFICIAL REFERENCE BOUNDARY
Fangchengbao may revise equipment, software and specifications. Match official information to the production record and actual installed hardware. Review the official Fangchengbao Tai 7 reference, then verify the candidate and destination independently.
BUYER QUESTIONS
No. Protocol, electrical limits, software and destination infrastructure must also match.
No. Preserve evidence and use a safe qualified procedure before deciding whether the inlet is serviceable.
Documented repair plus repeat lock, charge, release and diagnostic checks under known conditions.
