Hi.
This message is mainly for Victron staff.
I'm fully aware that there are already stations installed for end customers, mainly with the title of testing units, the question remains.
When this product will be available for general public?
Thanks

Victron EV Charging Station availability
Helloooooo....someone from Victron can give us an answer here? At least some estimations if not concrete dates?
Victron will not answer to this question. It is one of the community rules.
It's done when it's done ......

Thanks Jens, but some of us need this kind of info to plan ahead. And I'm not the first and only asking for such an information. It's already a best practice since years, that companies are sharing their roadmaps with the public, so we know what to expect and when...or at least an estimation, or at least to keep the public up-to-date, what is the status, etc...even more when delays maybe are related to some more strict regulations that just changes in the meantime
And what happens if Victron now says it will be available in 6 months and it than delays for another 6 months?
Many people will be angry because they planned with a release in 6 months.
So it is better to say nothing.
Out of curiousity, why do you want this victron EVSE? It wont win any design prices. So what feature are you looking for?
I'm looking for the functionality and not design. Mainly to be able to charge the EV only with the surplus, after the 48V bank batteries were charged. I assume that there are other stations that could work, still I'm trying also to minimize the number of vendors for my components. And as I mentioned, this is a question for the Victron staff.
Okay, I have an Alfen Pro-Line S EVSE (which supports Modbus as loadbalancing source) and I've created a Python script that tells the EVSE how much power it is allowed to consume. Perhaps it could be an alternative?
I need to cleanup my script, but can add it to Github when I'm ready
As far as I know is this picture is from a very early prototype (more than 1.5 years old).
I doubt the final product will look like this.

Too late…I went for Fronius Wattpilot
The EVSE is now listed n the website;
https://www.victronenergy.com/accessories/ev-charging-station
As distributor we can order it but it will be delivered in two months or so.
I can't seem to find it in the Q1/22 pricelist. If they can't give us a date, which I understand, is a price estimate posible? I already have several customers interested in this in Spain.
There is a new pricelist now for Q2 22, it is in there for the rediculous amount of 1500 eur.
Not sure why it is more expensive than an inverter.
I can confirm, this is the list price. 1500eur which indeed is ridiculous. A Fronius Wattpilot 22kW is around 850eur. Which by the way works flawlessly in a Victron-Fronius hybrid system. So what’s the difference for? For a useless touchscreen that 99% is not needed?
