type2 @ 230V adapter - bypassing software power limit on public charging spots
Posted: Tue Oct 14, 2025 3:49 am
I have tesla 3 US spec with 1phase 11kW (48A charger) + mobile connector 32A + phoenix contact 22kW 3phase 32A type2-type2 cable
I tested it on different spots
1, FREE public charging point 22kW - as it was free, city limited current to 6A - which means 1phase car will charge with 1,5kW only
So I plug adapter with 32A evse - I got full power
2. 11kW public charging point (in app) but PHYSCIALLY it is 22kW - I plugged car with normal type2 cable - charging speed limited to 16A so 3,5kW max
- with adapter I got full 32A
3. ABB 3in1 DC/DC/AC charging stations -(ac with cable) - usually these WAS capability of 43kW on AC (63A) - I charged my tesla direclty with 1x48A wihtout problem BUT some time ago they limited AC to only 22kW, so no more 11kW with my car - max was 32A so 7kW
As you can see on adapter I make additional schuko socket so I plug a little (1,8kW) heater to it - I plug it with evse and I get 40A fully
I am wodnering why they not use some kind of software limit inside - with exceeding limit I should get error or somehting but everything worked without problem
