I have two questions around use of EV charger off of the 12000XP Smart Port (New install, Grid Power only, UPS Mode, No Solar, no AC Generator):
- EV connected to Smart Port reports connection failure each night at 11pm which with daylight saving correlates to 12:00am. I have AC First mode running from 0:01 to 23:59 on P1 P2 and P3. Could it be as simple as making P2 be 23:59 to 0:01 to cover the two minutes or could something else causing this behavior?
My use case is to charge the EV only when the Grid is available when car initiates the charge. EV charging is scheduled during the night but can be manually started any time of the day via the app or within the car. However the inverter requires start and stop SOC in the Smart Port settings (feature request: to turn this off and only use Grid Always On: Enable) so I was using 100% to 80% and the battery was at 100%. Which leads into the second question...
- In simulating a grid outage I noticed EV - Smart Port remained energized. I figured the battery level must be taking priority over the grid outage and the Smart Port stayed active because of 100% battery SOC. I moved the Smart Load Start SOC below battery SOC and it still would not turn off the Smart Port during grid outage. Is there a way to configure the Smart Port to deenergize during a grid outage for my use case or something close to it?
Inverter Settings:
Smart Load: Enable
Start PV Power(kW) 0.0kW << no Solar in this system
Grid Always On: Enable
Smart Load Start SOC(%) 85 << temporarily dropped from 100% for testing purposes (see second bullet above)
Smart Load End SOC(%) 80
Firmware: ceaa-0507
