Yellow Bear Posted October 28 Report Share Posted October 28 It may sound a silly question but do ev charging points reset and continue charging after a power failure or do they need to be reset to avoid net overload on power resumption. We live in an area where drop-out or short outage is a regular thing at about 1 a week or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been common for heavy load single phase items for some time. Following from that I would expect them to 'resume' automatically - but this is a complete guess.

amateur Posted October 29 Report Share Posted October 29 I don't know, from the experience of my charger, as I haven't had a power cut when it was in use. However, the ruddy thing is so intelligent that I would expect it to tell me if/when it fails. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the problem, before I retired they were (at least the one i was involved with) manual reset, and a neighbor has one that is constantly "dropping out" and requires resetting. I believe the Tesla ones are soft start but I could be wrong. From what I can see there doesn't seem to be a standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
