EV charging station - future version

Hello all,

I just consider to buy a Victron EVCS. In one of the posts, @Lucian Popescu (Victron Energy Staff) mentioned, Victron in working on a new version with an additional 1p relay.

Does anyone has any estimation, when it might be available?

Cheers,

luphi

Hi, what do you need, switching from 1p to 3p?

yes, switching between 1p and 3p depending on excess power.

Yes, manual and automatic switching 1Ph-3Ph would be very useful.

My EV charges with max. 16 A, 1Ph (1.4 - 3.7kW) or 3Ph (4.1 - 11 kW).

I have a 7kW PV system and sometimes I could take advantage of 3P charging (4 - 6.5 kW surplus after subtracting house base loads).

Not good! That's really a feature that makes the Victron Wallbox not competitive to other sytems.
