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

During the DC pre-charge phase, the charger could not match its output voltage to your vehicle's battery voltage. The charger and car must agree on voltage before power delivery starts.

What to do

  1. Unplug and retry. This can be a temporary issue
  2. Try a different DC charger
  3. If this happens with your vehicle on multiple chargers, contact your vehicle manufacturer

Who's responsible?

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