Share

This is general guidance based on the ChargeX MREC standard. Actual charger behavior varies by manufacturer and firmware version. Always follow on-screen instructions and contact the charging network if you are unsure.

Warning

The charger and your vehicle could not agree on charging parameters such as maximum voltage, maximum current, or energy transfer mode. This negotiation happens before any power is delivered.

What to do

  1. Unplug and retry after 15 seconds
  2. Try a different charger with a different power rating
  3. If the error persists, there may be a compatibility issue between your car and this charger

Who's responsible?

  • This may be a vehicle issue
  • This is likely a charger hardware issue
