Managed Connection Solutions 

Due to the increased household demand that EV Chargers have added to the electricity network Energex have requirements that must be followed to help reduce the load on the grid during peak times. 

Energex offer two new managed connection options that utilize a "network device" for dedicated EV chargers at locations with a supply of 100A per phase or lower.

These network devices can be used to temporarily disconnect power to the dedicated EV charger during periods of high demand on our network.

For Level 1 Charging using either a 10amp or 15 amp GPO there is no need for a network device and managed connection. 

For Level 2 Charging using a dedicated single phase charger that draws more than 20 Amps it must be connected by one of the following arrangements:

1. Load control tariff using a network device
2. Primary tariff with basic active management via a network device (not available everywhere, see below)
3. Primary tariff with a dynamic connection.

If your home has three-phase wiring, you can install a dedicated three phase charger with a capacity of up to 22kW, provided it is connected and switched across all three phases simultaneously. 

This configuration enables faster charging without the need for active device management.

If you don't have three-phase wiring, consult with AE Electric to see if upgrading your wiring is possible, and to get a free quote.
