Charging status indicators
The status indicators illuminate green or
flashing red to identify the charge cord
status.
1. AC present
2. Fault detected
When both indicators are green, the vehicle
can be charged.
If any indicator is flashing red, the charging
cord will not allow the vehicle to charge.
• Flashing red AC present - indicates the
AC voltage is out of range.
• Flashing red AC present and Fault
detected - indicates the AC outlet does
not have a ground connection.
Charging is not permitted for safety
reasons. The AC outlet must be repaired
or another outlet source should be used.
• Flashing red Fault detected - indicates a
charging cord fault.
The unit will automatically attempt to
reset itself. If the flashing continues for
more than 30 seconds, unplug the
charging cord from the wall to reset. If
the fault remains, contact your Fisker
Retailer for advice.
