Some positive news!
With a 'New' charger, using my existing codebase, I've been able to achieve ~40A from the EVSE.
The new wattage limit is 8900w (40A @ ~240vAC)
Component protection is showing normal (not triggered... Yet anyway...)
Details of the new charger are:
HW: H35
SW: 0088
ODX: 4007

Re: MLBevo Charger- 11kw & 22kw Info
I've ordered another charger.
Figured I'd either prove two units are non-functional, or migrate over and test some theories in getting a charger to work as a slave unit.
This will require Focci or a CP-PP master; but would allow you to gang chargers together for 11, 22, 33 kw... etc.

I'll try to sort out some of the BAP messages, it may be of some use to you. the Accumulated power may be difficult, but there is likely more to decipher.

Re: MLBevo Charger- 11kw & 22kw Info
With the port disconnected from the charger unit, I have the following:
PP-PE Resistance @ 2.7kohm
Open Circuit on CP-PE
(I'll measure it with the charger unit connected in a few hours)
I haven't been able to find anything about the tests, however I have several that are failed. I believe #38.

No major changes between the various revisions, other than some new faults.

If the simulate question was for me, it's not required
It was included just to mock having 400v applied, as I was bench testing with just a dummy load.
As for the parameters, Haven't looked at your codebase, but many of the ones I have mapped aren't needed.

JLR iBSG (Valeo) - With DBC
While searching for DBC files, I stumbled across this university team using the iBSG from Valeo.
Their DBC seems to indicate that it's a JLR based unit - Likely from the X8578 - F-Pace Mild Hybrid.
They were sponsored by Valeo, so it makes sense the DBC came thru that route.

You may find the Teensy to be a more fitting processor for a bridge/router, Hard to ignore the horsepower of that chip. Plus there are a ton of Can Libraries to leverage.

Re: MLBevo Charger- 11kw & 22kw Info
A lot of the values being sent to the charger are similar enough that with the limited data, I end up copying the value into the various CAN messages.
The thing is that some use different scaling. I think that's where most of the copying values originates from.
There may be some back and forth ...

Check your output voltage is above 300v
Sounds like how my unit was acting when I didn’t have a high enough resistance load and a low wattage EVSC wall plug.
After a duration the unit shuts down on low output voltage.
I think the limit is somewhere around 250v

Use the magic bytes from Damien,
The bytes change depending on the generation of chassis,
The Bytes and signaling for the 11kw chargers are for the MLBevo generation, while the 3.6 and 7.2kw chargers are likely based on the MQB generation.
But there may be some crossover or charger firmware ...

Re: 981 Boxster Electric Power Steering
That makes sense, I guess they don't care too much on Motor RPM after the start signal, as any loss in motor RPM would immediately kill the power assist, which likely isn't ideal.

In your sketch, some of the ids are in decimal, but notated as hex.
for instance your BEM_05 has a ID of 0x869, but it should be either 869 (decimal) or 0x365 (hex)

Had some example code on the forum already:
dMO_Speed_01 = motor RPM (Value is RPM*4) - if you send a value of 4000 it should spoof a 1000 rpm idle.
may also be worthwhile setting bMO_Motor_runs to 1

It is a good sign that it did begin to charge though!
