greentangerine - to clarify, your system uses the CP connection to via your open evse charger to vary the rate of charge to the car. What range of charge rates does it achieve? i.e. 2kw-6.6kw for example? Please can you state what the minimum rate of charge that is achieved and if this varies in...

greentangerine - the open evse schematic shows a CP connection to the vehicle but no PP. A hardwired resistor can be included in the plug for the PP terminal to indicate the cable limit. Is this your set-up? If so, did you wire a 220 ohm resistor from the plug PP terminal to earth? I have...

greentangerine - which vehicle do you have? did you build your open evse charger? if so, is the variable charging signalled via the CP pole in the plug?

bugeyed, what make and type of charger (EVSE) do you use for charging?

the proximity pilot PP connection does this via a resistor to earth. trouble is I don't think this can be used to adjust the charge rate of the car dynamically. i.e. the charge rate is probably set based on the resistor reading at the start of the charge session. Does anyone know if this rate...

I have an EVSE with a viridian EVSE Protocol Controller (EPC). I was able to match my PV generation with the charge rate on my nissan leaf by adjusting the resistance between the IC pin and ground. The resistance on the IC pin cause the EPC to adjust the control pilot (CP) signal to the vehicle...
