Hi All,
I have almost finished the 1988 Honda Prelude conversion:
http://forums.aeva.asn.au/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=5502&start=350
However the Type 2 inlet in conjunction with the AVC2 from EV West is not working right. A friend loaned me his Open EVSE which has a 32 A plug on the input side, so I can use the TC charger at 5 kW or so. The AVC2 gives the OpenEVSE the right signal to start delivering AC power to the charger.
However when I used a public charge point, I get nowhere. With an exception - there was a Scheider Type 2 charge point which started to charge the car for a minute, then fails. Reseting it allows it to charge for another minute, then it fails again.
Tesla Destination chargers in Australia are all Type-2, and often work for Leaf 2.0s and Hyundai Konas, but in this case would not charge the Prelude. Likewise an EO charge point showed no signs of acknowledgement.
So I was hoping folks here might have some experiences with getting the AVC2 to play nice with Type-2 charge points.
