Power outage and your EV: resuming charging after an interruption

What if the power goes out while charging?

A power outage during an EV charging session can look scary, but modern cars and charge points are designed for it. Leafy Energy helps you resume charging safely.

What happens during the outage?

• The charge point automatically shuts down when mains power is lost.
• Your car registers the interrupted session but does not get “confused”.

After power is restored

• In many cases the session automatically resumes when power comes back.
• Leafy Energy adjusts the schedule if your departure time is getting close.

Tips for critical departure times

• Set a “fallback” departure time in the app so Leafy Energy keeps extra buffer.
• After an outage, quickly check the app to confirm everything is back on track.
