Ground fault breaker in charging cable
The charging cable has a circuit breaker that helps protect against current overloads and thermal overheating.
Warning
The high-voltage battery may only be charged using grounded and approved 120/240 V outlets (AC, alternating current). If the electrical circuit or electrical socket's capacity is not known, let a licensed electrician inspect the electrical circuit's capacity. Using a charge level that exceeds the electrical circuit's or electrical outlet's capacity may start a fire or damage the electrical circuit.
Warning
- The charging cable's internal current breaker helps protect the vehicle's charging system but cannot ensure that a current overload will never occur.
- Never use visibly worn or damaged electrical sockets. Doing so could lead to fires or serious injury.
- Never connect the charging cable to an extension cord.
- Contact Polestar Customer Support for information on the maintenance or replacement of the high-voltage batteries.
- Only use the recommended charging cord.
- Do not use an external timer between the charging cord and the electrical outlet.
- Do not use any adapters between the charging cable and the electrical socket.
 | LED indicator |
If the charging cable's ground fault breaker is tripped, the LED indicator will illuminate with a steady red glow. Have the outlet checked by a licensed electrician or try using another wall outlet.
Important
- Check the capacity of the socket.
- Other electronic equipment connected on the same fuse circuit must be disconnected if the total load is exceeded.
- Do not connect the charging cable if the socket is damaged.
