EPS cycling when EV on charge
Posted: Wed May 06, 2026 9:41 am
Newbie here.
We have a newly installed plant with the EPS and battery storage. All works fine with Octopus Agile and a self-use mode.
Yesterday, while the EV was charging and the battery was also force-charging, we had a power outage. The EPS did its job and supported the home until the EV charger came back online and tripped the system. The EV charger stopped, and the EPS and battery powered the home until the EV charger started........repeat
Are there any particular settings that could stop this occuring? Obviously, it is not possible to predict a power cut when planning to charge the EV. The charger is a Pod-Point connected unit, and the EV load is 7kW.
