I’ve been trying to find some more recent information, but I’m unable to find anything about the long promised new EV charger. When is it available, and is already known what the specs will be? I would like to buy a charger with MID-meter and bidirectional charging. My preference is a charger from Victron because of complete Victron ESS, but if it takes too long before it is ready, I’ll go for another brand.
Hi, we don’t generally see any comments about futures on the community, something we mention in the guidelines.
We usually find out with the rest of the world.
Announcements are usually made at trade shows or on blogs/news from the professional site.
Best to watch those.
Hi Nick,
Thanks, did not know this. But I have to say that it is really unclear what to expect now. I’m just a normal customer so I’m not going to visit trade shows. And if it is mentioned there, I’d expect an update about this somewhere. The blog is overwhelming with stuff about saddle makers, chicken farms and other useless things which do not mention any product updates. I searched the professional website about this before I posted the original message and I’m not able to find anything. So In that case I’d like to change my question a bit: where can I find a clear overview of expected new product releases? (Without having to browse through blog posts for hours). I also searched in the price list (as mentioned in the guidelines) but I’m not able to find anything about the new charger there.
Since it is mentioned in de community guidelines not to ask about this, I’m pretty sure I’m not the first one who did. This means it is generally unclear to people.
Indeed not and I would also like to know 
We just aren’t in that loop and we rarely see staff talk about it here.
Once it is a badly kept secret we might have an idea.
I have heard rumours for a while but nothing concrete,
In the same way we heard about the HS19 for years.
You can try ping your regional manager - details on the main victron contact page.
Really wish we could help.
ps. you can look at the official pricelist on the main site. Sometimes something new appears there ahead of schedule.
Thanks! I’ll contact the regional manager. Hopefully there will be something like a clear roadmap in the future.
Check youtube channel from Victron Installer Harold Halewijn, 4 months ago he made a video about (Victron) ev chargers, Dutch language!, and why we must wait for the next Victron ev charger from Victron.
Thanks @Frisianstar for reminding me to this video. I was already wondering where I read/heard about the possible release in June, but it must have been this video. https://youtu.be/BC-HjnvKj-k?si=EOR6fn5m3SDLmbt_&t=793.
