I actually submitted a quote request to Evnex this afternoon and have completed the online 'survey'. 

I have an Open ESVE on the way. I'll get the sparky to wire in a 32A socket. Unfortunately the car does not support three phase, so I'll need a bit of automation (via openHAB) to ensure the load fits within the output of the (3 phase) solar inverter.

Are there any electricians on this forum ? I have access to a free lightly used three phase socket outlet (PDL 56CV532) which is a 5 pin 32A version.  Is this suitable to supply a 6.6kW single phase / 22kW three phase EVSE, or is a higher capacity model such as 40A required. My calculations tell me that single phase 6.6kW at 230V is approx 28A.

SomeoneSomewhere: 32A is the appropriate socket, but normally we recommend hardwiring EVSE to remove extra connection points and possible failures.

Thanks. The PDL 56 series are pretty robust/reliable with the locking ring that stabilises the connections. I have some 20A versions for stationery machinery in my workshop but just was unsure of the amperage rating for the charger.  I'll get a sparky to hep with the switchboard mods.

Yeah, they're pretty good (better than most alternatives), but it's still three extra points of contact that don't need to be there.

I was told that all the proper EVSE say in the manuals to hardwire and not use a plug/socket so installing them with one is non compliant. Different for the tesla granny cable, which has a 32A end available for it but there was still reasons that I couldn't get a 32A put in just for that which I cant recall right now.

You can get load-shedding gear but you'll be disconnecting it outright via contactor, rather than just winding it back. Disconnecting other loads (hot water) is also an option, and many heatpumps can be set to 50/75% capacity by dry contact.

There's gas-only homes that could take a 32A load pretty easily.

Ge0rge: For those who have had an Evnex E2 installed, what cabelling was used to connect the CT clamps?

Our mains cable and solar are some 40m distant from the house where the accountant has specified her car will be parked and charged. I'm happy enough to have one CT clamp around the submains for the house and use that for load limiting, as the majority of big draw items are in the house.

However, in order to use the solar diverting function, I'll need to have a CT clamp around the mains, seeing as noone appears to make a Lora/wifi remote monitoring system. There are two Cat6 cables that run between the buildings, currently used for internet, but I could repurpose one for the CT clamp if Cat6 can be used.

Shielded Cat6 ? Hopefully if it is running that distance. In which case it will be fine as it is only sensing the current via an induced voltage.

Or use some automation via HA or openHAB etc.
