If you have surplus charging as part of your installation, you can use this energy together with the Easee Equalizer to charge your car.
In this article, we’ll walk you through how this feature works and explain the factors that can influence the charging current delivered to your car.
Some limitations that are important to be aware of
The Equalizer does not know whether you have solar panels, a battery, or any other form of energy production. The Equalizer only does one thing: it mirrors the load on the phases. It monitors whether the total load is positive or negative.
It does not combine production across different phases if the production is distributed across phase 1, 2, and 3. In the simulator below, we will illustrate how the Equalizer uses surplus energy.
The Equalizer does not read power in kW. It only uses amperes to distribute the load.
It will not immediately offer charging current as soon as energy becomes available. Instead, it waits 10 minutes to avoid frequent fluctuations that could affect the vehicle.

How to use:
Choose your grid type: IT or TN.
Select your preferred charging mode: Only Surplus or Surplus + Grid.
Enter the expected production (e.g., from solar panels).
Enter House Consumption if applicable.
Very often, house consumption is not taken into account, which can affect the available charging current
Note: This illustration does not take sudden spikes or fluctuations in current into account. If the production is unstable, the charging supply will also be unstable.
