2020–2021 Polestar 1 FAQ

What should I do if the charging cable shows a flashing red light?

A flashing red light means charging is not possible because of a critical fault; unplug the cable from the charging input socket, then the power outlet, and contact Polestar Customer Support if the problem persists.

What should I do if the charging cable's ground fault breaker trips?

If the ground fault breaker trips and the LED glows steady red, have the outlet checked by a licensed electrician or try another wall outlet; do not connect the cable to a damaged socket.
