Peripheral Compatibility List

Each charging station consists not only of the actual charging controller, but also of several connected peripheral devices. Depending on the type of charging station, i.e., AC or DC, different peripheral devices are required.

The following lists the manufacturers and models supported for different device classes.

While the open-source EVerest charging stack supports several devices out-of-the-box, others are implemented and maintained by chargebyte as either open-source or closed-source EVerest modules.

Note

If you need some specific component implemented, feel free to contact us.

Electricity Meters

Note

Not all electricity meters support/provide all possible measurement values. Sometimes, this also depends on the meter’s hardware and/or firmware version. Therefore, please check whether your desired meter is compatible with your specific requirements.

AC

Note

Multiple EIA-485 devices, which all use Modbus as protocol, can share the same EIA-485 bus. It is required to use the EVerest module SerialCommHub as low-level module to coordinate the individual peripheral modules - even when there is only a single device on the bus. The configuration of the SerialCommHub module can be found on EVerest’s documentation platform: https://everest.github.io/nightly/_generated/modules/SerialCommHub.html.

Note

Most electricity meters which use Modbus as protocol are covered by EVerest’s GenericPowermeter module. See https://github.com/EVerest/everest-core/tree/main/modules/GenericPowermeter/models for latest supported models.

Locking Motors (Plug Locks)

Since the electrical interface for plug lock motors is platform-specific, please find the supported motor types and corresponding configuration parameters in the platform specific module’s description (e.g. CbTarragonPlugLock).
