I just read the volts straight off the battery posts
Hint- Your car is a 48v car*. At the most, you will see around 51v.
*Unless you have something special I am not aware of?
Man I’ve never felt so incapable of doing something lmao.
Tell me where I need to start.
So far,
Changed the 12v
I plug the charger in and the zivan reads a57
Guys prior said it needs a j1772 charger
(Even though the charging part on the gem says not compatible with j1772 charger)
Plugged it in with that j1772 charger. O nothing not a light on the zivan . Not on the dash saying it’s chargeing.
Where do I go from here. What info or pictures can I do to help understand the situation.
I do appreciate the help and responses. When it comes to this I’m a little out of my realm and just know enough to be dangerous sadly.
Again thank you for your help
Here is your issue. Your meter is confusing and on the wrong setting.
Your dial needs to be pointing over at the 200 at 9 o’clock for measuring this battery.
This meter is horribly confusing to set up.
You might want to take a sharpie and draw some dividing lines on the dial like this →
The only exception is I think that 600 belongs in the DC group. (I hope you don’t ever have an actual NEED to measure 600vDC). I just put it in it own bracket.
Whenever I get strange readings, I move to something that is known. To test this meter, go poke at a 12v battery to see what it reads. You will get a reading on the 200 scale, but it will be more accurate on the 20v scale.
This doesn’t help your A57 / Not charging issue. I am still researching this.
I live in BFE and purchased the cheapest reader near me. I’ll invest in another one. But makes sense why that damn reader was confusing to read. I’ll grab the sharpie
I need to charge the e4 it’s at 50/60%
Explain. Is it empty or 50%?
42v is near empty.
Not possible!
Not a good idea. Gabe didn’t know you had a warning sticker.
So many expensive parts. These repairs are not diy.
The battery bmc in rear, bmc in front, and charger, all need to work together.
You could swap them all if you are careful, but it still may not work, and might damage the good parts.
Rear bmc. $2000 maybe?
IMHO, ship it to a dealer with Polaris DW, or sell it while it still runs.
Some dealers can’t even fix them!
WDYM??

Slang/Old expression/urban dictionary. IIRC- it stood for Bum Fuct Egypt.
Meaning: in the middle of nowhere.
Unless he is referring to British Foreign England?
Between Funky Episodes?
Bum ■■■■ Egypt. Or the sticks😎
okay, big question. e4 has a delta charger e6 with the zivan would the bmc still be interchangeable??
I don’t think so.
The main issue you are dealing with is the late model cars are CanBus connected. Whenever you make ANY changes, the change is detected and the VMC faults. (It can tell that you have a turn signal out. Cool- yes. PITA-Yes!)
These things really need dealer support to keep running. They have the software to plug into the car, diagnose, and make changes. Unfortunately, I hear the new owners (waev) are making it real difficult on the legacy dealers to stick around.
When you are switching components around, they usually require reprogramming to configure to the new surroundings.
Sometimes you can find people that bypass components to modify the car in some ways, but it usually leaves other parts of the car partially lobotomized or no longer functioning.

Im starting to think that this car has the port Replaced or it’s a Deltaq car that someone installed a zivan in it without replacing the port ,
I never seen a car with a Zivan and the “non j1772” sticker
This is the troubleshooting for A56-57
Check if the charging port has all the pins inside.
Also send a picture of the connector in the back of the charging g port (where it’s connects to the charger)
Buwahahahahah! And Dave knocks it out of the park…
Check if your charger harness has a small fuse also check the 3w pin connector out of the charging port is connected properly.
