The warning “External charger error” in the Soul EV is pretty scary, but in most cases, it means that the charger you are now using is not good and you will want to check the vehicle with another charger.
If this happens with your home charger, check the plug for corrosion, reset the charger, check the circuit breaker. But it’s very unlikely that the problem is actually with the car. In some rare cases, owners had to clean the port connections to solve this problem.
