first is there a trick to removing the P050A cable? i know about the screw that can be used to secure the cable and that screw is NOT currently engaged. i’m worried that if i pull on the cable any harder i might damage something?
…
will it ever be possible to have AC output while using the EV charging cable on the apex300? does the apex 300 AC Charging Cable 30A or 50A allow simultaneous AC output?
…
i’m unable to get the EV charging cable working with an EVSE from a 120 VAC source, i’ve only been able to get 240 VAC working
…
i’m far below the expected charging rate. i tried a 16A 240 VAC EVSE [3840 expected] but the apex300 only was receiving between 2500-2700 watts [i did see 3200 watts briefly but only once] the apex300 was at 62% SOC while charging. [note: max amps was set to 50]
…
FYI i’ve have the latest updates for the apex300
Hello,
- Yes, the customer needs to purchase an additional EV charging cable.
- The low charging power may be due to temperature limitations.
- Please watch the video on how to disassemble it.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out!
so you are saying i need to get a second EV charging cable? why and where would i even put the second cable? also is a 90 degree cable an option? that would make my life easier
…
thanks for showing me that the cable needs to twisted off. it would have been nice if the cable came with instructions or even if the website had some info, downloadable manual, etc
…
i’m still waiting for info on the following questions:
…
1] will it ever be possible to have AC output while using the EV charging cable on the apex300? does the apex 300 AC Charging Cable 30A or 50A allow simultaneous AC output?
…
2] i’m unable to get the EV charging cable working with an EVSE from a 120 VAC source, i’ve only been able to get 240 VAC working
@rustythorn what region of the world are you from? I am making a blind assumption you are in North America given your mention of 120V AC. When you have the EV charging cable connected (to charge the Apex using 240v AC) why can’t you enable AC output? Does it refuses to turn on? The outlets on the front of the unit, do they not power on and provide 120AC when you enable AC output?
yep north america, when activating the EV charging the apex300 automatically shuts off AC output and it does not allow me to turn it back on. which is why i want to know about the behavior of the 30A and 50A AC Charging Cables. if the 30A or 50A AC Charging Cables are used do they also shut off the AC output?
Ok I had no idea that would happen. Seems strange. Your would think Apex300 can just split the income phase and provide at least 120V pass-through. If they cannot, I don’t see why the inverter operations isn’t independent. Obviously I am missing something. Let’s wait and see what they would say. How come you need to change your unit so quickly using a EV charger?
i did not know it would happen either, if i did i would not have gotten the cable.
…
accutally, i don’t have any plans on charging the apex300 at the rate an EV charging station can provide and it is worth noting that the 30A and 50A AC Charging Cables would also charge as fast as an EV charging station.
…
my plans for the EV charging cable was to use the apex300 as input into my van’s victron system. i could either just pass the power through or since most EV charging stations are 30 amps i could add the apex300’s inverter plus maybe some solar and feed 50 amps into the victron. before the apex300 existed i was just going to get evseadapters’ J1772 EV Charger to NEMA 14-50 Adapter [ J1772 EV Charger to NEMA 14-50 Adapter ] but bluetti’s EV charging cable SHOULD have been a simpler approach but nooooo, hence now i need to find out if the apex300 30A and 50A AC Charging Cables allow for AC output
