Pylontech and Raspberry PI

Hi!,
im running a raspberry pi 3b+ with venus OS to monitor my MPPT and BMV712

now im also adding a Multiplus 48/5000 and Pylontech US2000PLUS batterys,

i figured out which cable you would need to connect Pylontech to a REAL Venus device, bot how do id do this with the raspberry? is there a USB adapter?, or can i use the ethernet port on raspberry?

The Pylontech battery communicates using CANBUS. The RaspberryPi does not have a CANBUS interface, so it's not possible to connect the batteries to it.

Maybe it would be possible to add a CANBUS interface to the RaspberryPi, but it seems like a lot of work:

Hmmm so what would be the cheapest Gx modul to hook up to the system for it to work?
