The contol board from Tesla Gen3 charger

Not sure is anyone is interrested, but I have "extracted" the control module and took some pistures. As I did not want to remove the phase modules and completely strip the charger (as I believe its working), I took sligtly different approach.
The board did ...

Re: Tesla Charger Support thread gen2/gen3

Hi All,

Please can someone clarify "Activate" and "Eanble" signals?

The Gen 3 charger Wiki pagehas this picture image.png which suggest that pin 3 is the activate and it needs 3V signal, but the table under suggest pin 3 to be low and pin 4 to have 3V.

I have connected my charger and when pin 3 ...

Re: Tesla Charger Support thread gen2/gen3


Is there a way to use the Tesla OBC Gen 3 for fast charging??


I guess that depends on what "fast charging " means for you.

I'm working on a DIY DC charger project where the plan is go use pyPLC combined with tesla gen3 charger (one to start with) to have 18kw charging capability at home for a ...

Re: Teardown MG MG5 combined charging init

hi Tom91,

I had busy weekend, but I can report some progress on this.

So first I just powered up the unit with 12V and did get messages consistent with Damians log. I have also managed to figure out meaning of some of them (wil attach my notes).

Then I have enabled HV DC and sent the two messages ...

Re: Teardown MG MG5 combined charging init

No luck getting this unit to do anything useful.
I have another unit (same part number) and I'm trying to replicate what Damien did in his video. Unfortunately no luck so far getting it to do DC/DC to change the 12v bat. Did not get around to try V2L or hv battery charging yet.

Can anyone help ...

Re: Teardown MG MG5 combined charging init

I think it is the same unit, but Damian will have to confirm is unit is also EP2CCU6625A.

Once I test what is still working, I will probably try to get the PCB off to dig deeper (especialy if nothing is working).

So I'm sharing info/pics, so you don't have to repeat my ...
