Hypervolt home charger lights: what each colour and pattern means

A Hypervolt talks through its LED ring. Hypervolt uses seven colours, and for most of them solid and pulsing mean different things: solid blue is ready with no car, pulsing blue is plugged in and waiting for the car. Green is charging, and the side LEDs show the rate: fewer lit means a lower rate.

The light is the ring on the front of the charger. Red means its safety system has stopped charging; Hypervolt’s Fault Mode page explains its PEN-fault and DC RCD protection.

12. Red light

    The charger’s safety system has activated (fault mode) and it is no longer charging your car. One cause Hypervolt names is its PEN-fault detection: it trips if the supply voltage between live and neutral goes above 253 V or below 207 V for more than 5 seconds, and it resumes after 30 seconds of normal voltage, often shown by the standby blue.

    3 steps from Hypervolt on its page. Electrical: only Hypervolt’s own steps are repeated, none that open the charger or touch wiring.
