EV charger and VRM integration

Hi Folks.
We recently integrated 2 x Victron EV chargers into our existing Victron solar generation and storage system and I wondered if there were any plans to improve the integration between the chargers and the GX and VRM systems?

I also have a few specific questions that I hoped the community could answer:

  • How do I set priorities – i.e. PV first, then battery, then grid, and how do I exclude batteries completely to retain charge for night time use?
  • How do I differentiate what power is going to AC loads and EV charge points, as they are currently combined in the VRM system? I can calculate this manually, but it would be preferable to see the non EV related AC loads as a separate figure.
  • How do I add the EV charger usage as a separate item in the system overview data and graph in the VRM?
  • Is it possible to create an EV output widget on the GX screen?
  • Is there a way to access historic data? We own a tourism business and have guests who pay to charge vehicles, and I've noticed that once they unplug, the session data resets.

Many thanks.

Steve.

Hi, Thanks for your suggestions!

Yes, the VRM reports should and will be improved.

Thank you Lucian - I don't suppose you have a timescale for the updates?
Also, are you able to provide any clarity to my specific questions?

Many thanks.
Steve.
