NOTE: The EVS-CPI and SimpCharge are functionally identical, with a slightly different pinout. Please refer to the documentation before wiring.
Included in your purchase:
– EVS-CPI/SimpCharge EVSE Charge Controller
– 8-pin male MOLEX connector with pins
– 1k ohm resistor for J1772 proximity plug (some J1772 inlets have this preinstalled)
Documentation: CLICK HERE
Standalone Functions:
- Detect Plug (Type 1 or 2) based on the Proximity Signal – Dedicated 12V output when plug is inserted, EVSE does not need to be powered ON
- Detect Active EVSE based on the Pilot Signal – Dedicated 12V output when Pilot Signal is ACTIVE
- Switch on EVSE with simple 12V signal – Can come from any 12V source; A BMS signal (same as a charger activate signal) or a simple 12V switch
Additional Functions with the SimpBMS or Vero BMS V2:
- Detect available AC current from EVSE – Pilot Signal gets conditioned to be read by the BMS, which allows for the automatic limiting of CANbus-based chargers.
