How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not open the charger unless power is off and you are qualified.
- Allow full boot: After turning on the breaker, wait at least 60–90 seconds for the Polestar charger to complete its startup sequence before plugging in the vehicle.
- Check indicators: Refer to the user manual for LED patterns indicating ‘Ready’. If LEDs never show ready, note the pattern for service.
- Verify settings: Using the app or display, confirm that the charger is not in a disabled, paused, or scheduled‑only mode and that maximum current is set appropriately.
- Test with another vehicle: If possible, connect a different EV to rule out a vehicle‑side issue.
- Service inspection: If the charger never transitions to ready despite correct settings, internal pilot or safety circuits may be faulty and require professional diagnosis.
