why can he not charge it ? It should be able to hook to standard house outlet, out door plug? Show me image of his charge cable top and bottom plugs and what voltage he needs. I will try to advise if I can.

When we plug it in the light shows yellow instead of blue
He’s going to call the electrician

does the voltage / amp rate support the cars power drain for charging it ?

did you check your breaker / fuse box for that plug to make sure it’s not poping or breaking the fuse ?

Nice car! Hopefully the electrician can fix it. But I’d take it back to where I got and and expect them to fix it.

Nice car!

My mom has a red Tesla and it really accelerates very quickly when you put the pedal to the metal.

Personally I prefer electric cars as they are quieter and don’t tremble.
