20A Nameplate Rating

Overview

Provides customers the option to have a charger which is compliant upon installation with no additional hardware or control.

Although slower, the charger will still deliver:

4.6 kW
~25km range per hour.
~250-300km of range over a 8-10 hour period.

If device management is installed at a future date, charging speed can be updated. For our E2 products this can be done remotely (contact our support phone line) but for X7 products this needs to be done in person (physical DIP switches are located within the charger).

Pros

Solar charging - customer can use Evnex ‘solar diversion’ to charge from their excess solar.
Uninterrupted supply - charger can be installed on the primary tariff, enabling charging 24/7.
No additional hardware - charger is compliant upon installation with no additional hardware required.
Future device management - if the customer requires additional charging speed, once they have confirmed device management is in place Evnex can remove the charging limit.

Cons

Limited charging speed - charger will be limited to 20amps, regardless of solar production.

Installation Notes

The Evnex Installation app automatically sets the charging limits based on installation address. For installations in Queensland a 20A maximum charging current will automatically be selected. This cannot be changed by the Driver after installation - it requires a qualified electrician to confirm that Active Device Management is in place before Evnex permitting the change.

Prewiring requirements

No changes to the standard installation refer to the installation guide in the box or here in the knowledge hub. Note that highly recommend installing with a 32 Amp circuit and circuit protection. This allows the customer to update their system with Active Device Management at a later date with additional hassle.

Commissioning process

Once a location has been entered, single phase chargers being installed in QLD will be reminded of the QECM requirements and the default maximum charging current is set to 20 Amps.

You will asked "Is Active Device Management in place?" If you answer "Yes" , you confirm that the Active Device Management meets the requirements of the QECM (version 4). The max current will be set to 32 amps.

For E2 chargers this will be done through firmware - you can immediately proceed with the remaining steps.
X7 chargers will require a DIP switch setting on the inside of the unit - the app will walk you through it.

Post commissioning

E2 chargers - If a customer has device management installed post installation, they can declare this is in place and the charging limit will be removed remotely.

X7 chargers - this would require a return visit to site by the installer to adjust the DIP switch settings.
