The Power Goes Out – Your GM EV Wasn’t Plugged In
What if you arrive home and discover the power is out? For the rst 10 minutes of a power outage, the LED on the
GM Energy PowerShift Charger shows a solid white.
• Simply plug the Charging Coupler into your Compatible GM EV to connect it to the
GM Energy PowerShift Charger
• The LED should switch to solid blue
• Less than a minute later, the power should come on in your home and the LED will begin slowly blinking green
to indicate your GM EV is sending power to your home
What if you arrive home, the power is out and the LED light on the GM Energy PowerShift Charger is off?
• Your system is doing what it’s supposed to do — it has gone into Deep Sleep Mode
• See the next section on how to wake up the system
Troubleshooting
If power is out longer than 10 minutes, the system will go into Deep Sleep Mode to preserve the energy stored in the
GM Energy Dark Start Battery. You can conrm that your system is in Deep Sleep Mode by checking to see that a blinking
white LED light has appeared on the GM Energy Inverter.
• To wake the system, make sure your Compatible GM EV is plugged in and then press the Power Button on the right side
of the GM Energy PowerShift Charger
• The Compatible GM EV will begin discharging energy to your home, indicated by a blue light on the GM Energy
PowerShift Charger’s LED, followed by a slowly blinking green light (Find more information in the
Decoding the Blinking LED Lights section)
• Extended Power Outage – If you’ve been away in your GM EV for a couple days and then discover the power is out in your
home (you can always check this using the mobile app), start by plugging the Compatible GM EV in
• If there is still no LED light on the GM Energy PowerShift Charger, press the Power Button on the right side of the
GM Energy PowerShift Charger to wake the system
• If there is sufcient reserve energy in the GM Energy Dark Start Battery, the Compatible GM EV will begin discharging
energy to your home, indicated by a blue light on the LED followed by a slowly blinking green light (one second on, four
seconds off)
• If no light appears, it’s possible the power has been out in excess of two days and the GM Energy Dark Start Battery
is depleted
• Once power is restored to your home, you will be able to restart the GM Energy V2H Bundle by plugging in your GM EV
and pressing the Power Button on the GM Energy PowerShift Charger
