Mahle on-board charger failing on Stellantis and Toyota electric vans (2020–2023)

Engine / equipment

Peugeot e-Expert, Citroën ë-Jumpy, Opel Vivaro-e, Fiat E-Scudo and Toyota Proace Electric; also the Fiat e-Doblò

Period mentioned

2020–2023

Symptoms

It stops charging on AC (at home or at public posts) while still charging at DC rapid chargers; charging-fault warnings.

Possible cause described

The Dutch consumer programme Radar (2025) explains that these models were fitted with a Mahle on-board charger that fails relatively often and that Stellantis changed supplier without a recall. In 2021 Stellantis extended the charger warranty to four years on nearly all of them (not the Fiats), and Toyota covers its Proace for five years or 200,000 km; out of warranty it costs thousands of euros. Belgian consumer association Test-Achats publishes an owner’s complaint with the same list of models.

Check for the garage

Try charging at an AC post before buying; ask the dealer for the build date and whether the charger has already been replaced; keep the invoice in case you claim non-conformity.
