Updated March 2026

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.

Critical

The Efacec charger detected a fault with the electrical grid supply. This could be a voltage drop, frequency deviation, or phase imbalance at the site.

What to do

  1. This is a grid infrastructure issue. Nothing a driver can fix
  2. Try other chargers at the location. They may be on a different circuit
  3. If all chargers show the same error, the entire site has a power supply issue
  4. Report the issue and find an alternative charging location

Who's responsible?

  • This is likely a charger hardware issue
  • The charging network operator needs to fix this
