After the EVSE is connected to the vehicle’s charge inlet
the EVSE will continue to illuminate all LED’s green.
Once the vehicle begins charging the EVSE Charge level
LED’s will illuminate in order from left to right, then shut
off. This pattern will repeat as long as the EVSE remains
connected to AC power and the vehicle is actively
charging. Completion of charge will result in illuminat-
ing all LED’s green. If the vehicle stops charging, the LED
pattern will stop.
The LED’s are illuminated and turn off at the rate of one
change per second and the battery is charging.
