Renault Zoe Specific
The Renault Zoe charger's main feature is to allow the recharge at high power,
up to 43.5kW with 3-phase, allowing 80% battery recharge in only 30 minutes.
Because it can manage such a big power, it has additional safety features that
impose some additional constraints also in low power recharging.
Some people using EVR3 to charge Zoe experienced some problems at the
beginning. These are mainly caused by the charger's restrictions.
The more frequent problems are:
•
Residual current protection activation
: Zoe escapes about 30mA toward
ground, they are enough to trigger many 30mA type AC RCD external protections.
This problem can only be solved substituting the RCD with a 30mA type A that is
stronger. This is also required by the current normative about recharging of
electrical vehicles.
•
Phase/neutral inversion
: Zoe requires correct positioning of phase and neutral:
this is a problem mainly with domestic Schuko adapter. In some countries you can
invert phase with neutral by turning the Schuko plug by 180°, but in France you
cannot because the socket is polarized: with the earth on the top, neutral must be
on the left and phase on the right. If the socket is wired in the wrong way, you
cannot use that socket to recharge a Zoe. Normally the message “Recharge not
possible” identifies this problem.
Renault Zoe Specific
This EV Charging Station is specifically designed to securely charge a
Renault Zoe with a domestic or industrial power socket.
EVR3 is compatible with all electric vehicles with Type 2 connector (Tesla
Model S, Smart ForTwo E.D. with optional 32amp charger).
This charging station satisfies all specifics of the ZE Protocol.
