charge point chrager top clip broken off and wont charge while works fine on tesla?

Manually lift the portion remaining to make charging begin.

I had to do that for nearly a year at the grocery store. 2 of the 4 stations their had broken clips.

 

if the clip is broken, the part you press down with your thumb should still work, unless it is all broken.

prius requires a handshake, and the thumb clip lever provides that. it opens a circuit while you're plugging in, then closes it when you let your thumb off the lever.
i thought all plug ins were the same, but i guess not.

mine broke on my home L2, so i had to move the wires to a switch. i turn it on after i plug in, and off before i remove it.
if i wait too long to turn it on after plugging in, it won't start charging. i have to unplug and repeat the process. it is an interesting design.

 

It's tiny portion remaining. A tiny pocket knife might be needed to get a grip, since what's there is likely flush with the handle.

 

the wires are inside the handle. the thumb press lever pushes (or releases) a microswitch.

 

All I knew before was that the click the clip made was important.
Now I'm leaning why the click is important
Thanks

 

edited out Tesla adapter as it's already been mentioned above.
It's probably not going to be easy to understand exactly what @bisco and @john1701a are talking about until you actually get the clipless handles to work. I'm not getting it yet either, since I've never had the issue.
Give it time to sink in, sometimes it just takes a while to actually "get it" after reading.

 

try to catch someone starting to charge, maybe they can advise

 

I encountered this today on a charge point charger. How do I get it to initiate the handshake?
