Re: [RE-wrenches] Ev charger off grid

[Jay via RE-wrenches]

And what if the charger doesn’t have a neutral, just a ground? Does the same issue apply?

In my experience car chargers are sensitive to needing a solid ground connection.     On Wed, Jun 3, 2026, 6:05 AM Jay via RE-wrenches <re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote: Hi all. I have someone with a SOL ark 12 (9kw max offgrid) who hooked up a EV charger and it’s now tripping ac dual arc/gfi breakers. I figure the charger or car or both are making noise and the breakers trip. The charger is set to 16 amps. I guess my question is since this doesn’t happen on grid, or at least I never hear about it, is this an issue anyone has seen in other offgrid install?
