Hello all. My car just arrived with cables.

One is a 1P 230V, 10A 2.3kW - regular home and they also provided a 3P 400V, 16A 11kW. I thought the latter would plug into the red socket in the image below, but I was wrong. Does anyone know of an adapter I can order?

I'm searching, but not sure what I'm looking for.

Help appreciated.

Thanks!

You need a 3 phase EVSE.

I assume you have 3 phase power...

 

[damiand]

I'm guessing so. The box was there when I moved in.

Just asked an electrician friend.

And thanks!!

Depending on the rating of each phase of the 3 phase is (I.e. if it’s 32A per phase) you could also get a cable that plugs in and gives you a 32a single phase outlet.

you could charge at 7kW with a standard single phase portable EVSE.

3 phase EVSE’s are pricy!

What car are you planning on charging from it?

 

[damiand]

I've got a Polestar 2. I don't need to charge it very fast, but the regular plug in the wall wont give me enough for the next day and feel comfortable.
I'm thinking about ordering one of these. It's in Swedish, but maybe there is enough from a technical specifcation on the page:

Absolutely get that box checked. Potentially unsafe if not done properly.

That will be fine to charge a polestar and that’s ad fast as you will be able to charge it AC, it’s a bit pricey though.

I’ve done a quick conversion from Swedish Krona to GBP and the one you have specified there works out at £600.

I’ve done a quick search and this is basically the same thing for £400

I’m not sure if they ship to Sweden but you may want to shop around.

That box has rather a lot of connectors on it. Could we see where it’s sited and what connections go in/out of it?

 

[damiand]

Power in and like you say, lots of power options coming out.

No help I’m afraid but I am enjoying the irony of that crazy universal supply box needing an adapter 😁

 

[Drewby80]

Any box with that many outlets on it surely has a big incoming supply cable.

It looks like it was intended for commercial use is on a caravan site or a farm or something like that?

How big is the cable feeding it and where is it fed from?

What is the rating of the 3 phase breaker that supplies it?

They don’t ship out of uk but I recognise the brand and you should be able to get it via AliExpress direct from China or via an EU country.

Helo everybody,....first post here... due to thinking of buying a used EV and working now for requirements, also have this 380V connection.
So I found this cable.. I hope this will work.

Aliexpress 200 eur

And will put it in this outlet. (that I will connect directly to my 380V 3 faze plug.)

Will this work?

Should work fine, but it is 16 amp and on single phase cars will charge at 3.6 kw.
