Setup Instructions
The ELEGRP EV Charger offers flexible charging options depending on your available power outlet.
1. Choose Your Charging Level:
Your charger supports two charging levels:
- Level 2 Charging (240V, 16A): For faster charging, use the integrated NEMA 6-20 plug with a compatible 240V outlet. This provides up to 3.84 kWh (approximately 11-14 miles per hour).
- Level 1 Charging (120V, 12A): For standard charging, attach the included NEMA 5-15 adapter to the NEMA 6-20 plug and connect to a standard 120V household outlet. This provides up to 1.44 kWh (approximately 4-5 miles per hour).

2. Connect to Power Outlet:
Plug the appropriate connector (NEMA 6-20 directly or with 5-15 adapter) into a dedicated electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is properly grounded and in good condition. The charger's indicator light will illuminate green when successfully connected to power.
3. Prepare for Vehicle Connection:
Ensure your vehicle is parked in a safe location and turned off. Open the charging port cover on your electric vehicle.
Operating Instructions
1. Connect to Vehicle:
Firmly insert the J1772 charging connector into your vehicle's charging port. You should hear a click indicating a secure connection. The charger's indicator light will change to a high brightness green, indicating the vehicle is connected.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ELEGRP EV Charger, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Charger not powering on (no LED light) | No power from outlet; faulty outlet; damaged charger cable. | Check the power outlet with another device. Ensure the plug is fully inserted. Inspect the cable for visible damage. Try a different outlet. |
| Charger connected but not charging (Green LED low brightness/standing by) | J1772 connector not fully inserted into vehicle; vehicle charging port issue; vehicle not ready to charge. | Ensure the J1772 connector is firmly seated in the vehicle's port. Check your vehicle's dashboard or app for charging status. Try re-plugging the connector. |
| Red LED light (Fault) | Over-temperature, over-current, over-voltage, ground fault, leakage, or other internal fault detected. | Immediately disconnect the charger from both the vehicle and the power outlet. Allow it to cool down. Inspect the cable and connectors for damage. If the fault persists after reconnecting, contact customer support. |
| Slow charging speed | Using Level 1 (120V) outlet; vehicle charging settings; external factors (e.g., cold weather). | Ensure you are using a NEMA 6-20 (240V) outlet for Level 2 charging if faster speed is desired. Check your vehicle's charging settings. Charging speed can be affected by ambient temperature. |
