Recently the car wouldn’t start charging and Error Code 5 started showing up. It started intermittently and could be solved by unplugging and plugging the charge cable. Last week it wouldn’t charge at all. The cause of the problem is known, a kind of Pertinax (phenol formaldehyde) is used as isolator between the rotor and the flywheel, when Pertinax ages or gets damaged it gets hygroscopic. To replace te bad isolation the body shell and two battery packs need to be removed from the car.
