The count is set by one division: the supply’s spare capacity per phase, divided by 32. Each EV-ACS3205PE at full rate draws 32 A per phase, continuously, so two units ask the supply for 64 A per phase and three for 96 A — before anything else the building uses. Portables change how the chargers connect — CEE sockets on a distribution board — not the arithmetic.
Key Takeaways
- Each unit draws 32 A per phase at full rate; N units draw N × 32 A per phase, sustained for hours.
- The count is the electrician’s stated spare capacity divided by 32 — after the building’s other loads.
- Sockets cap the physical plan; staggered windows and moving units are the usage routes.
- Automatic load sharing is not stated for this model — confirm it in writing before designing around it.
The Combined Draw, in a Table
Everything here is arithmetic on the unit’s stated input — 32 A per phase, about 22 kW. Units charging at the same time add line by line:
| Units charging at full rate | Combined draw per phase | Combined power |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 32 A | About 22 kW |
| 2 | 64 A | About 44 kW |
| 3 | 96 A | About 66 kW |
| 4 | 128 A | About 88 kW |
Charging is a continuous load: those amps flow for hours, not minutes, so everything is planned around the sustained figure. The worst case is every unit drawing at once — on a shared site, exactly what happens when the whole fleet comes home together. Plan for that row, or arrange that it never occurs.
Three Things Set the Real Number
- The supply. The number you divide is the per-phase capacity your electrician states for charging, after the building’s other loads — a load calculation, which our guide to load calculation basics for adding EV chargers walks through. If it says the spare capacity is 70 A per phase, the honest count at full rate is two units, with little margin — not three and a hope.
- The sockets. Each unit needs its own 32 A five-pin CEE socket on the board, fitted by an electrician, so the physical count can cap the plan before the supply does. Counting sockets is not a shortcut around the supply: ten sockets on a 64 A spare capacity still feed two units at full rate.
- The need. Units that never run at the same time never draw together. Staggered windows — one shift’s vehicles in the evening, another’s after midnight — are the usage route when the supply cannot carry the peak. Portables add a lever fixed wallboxes lack: a unit can move to a different board or building as the pattern changes.
What This Model Will Not Do for the Plan
Automatic load sharing — chargers dividing a capped supply between themselves and rebalancing as vehicles finish — is a real technique, explained in our guide to dynamic load balancing. But this model’s listing does not state such a function, and it states no reduced-current setting to fall back on either. So the plan is capacity, staggering, or moving units — and if automatic sharing matters to your site, it is a written confirmation to obtain from EVDANCE before the board is designed around it.
The EV-ACS3205PE in a Multi-Unit Plan
The EV-ACS3205PE is a 22 kW three-phase portable charger: 32 A at 380–400 V, Type 2 connector, CEE five-pin plug, a 1.77-inch display, IP66 housing. In a load plan it behaves as a movable 32 A block: the same unit can serve a workshop board this month and a depot board next, and the plan changes by unplugging, not rewiring. Our CEE plugs explainer covers the socket side.
EVDANCE is a Shenzhen manufacturer founded in 2011, exporting to more than 30 countries, and the unit carries its 3-year standard warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run two units from a supply with 63 A per phase spare?
Not both at full rate. Two units ask for 64 A per phase before any other load, so the arithmetic leaves no headroom at all. The real answers are one unit at full rate, staggered use of the two, or a supply upgrade — and your electrician’s load calculation confirms which applies.
Does each unit need its own socket and circuit?
Plan on it. Each unit is a 32 A continuous load, and each plugs into its own five-pin CEE socket; how the board’s circuits are arranged and protected is the electrician’s design, made for the combined figure.
Can these units share a capped supply automatically?
No. No sharing or balancing function is published for this model, so treat it as a written-confirmation item. Until it is confirmed, plan on capacity or usage — the two routes above.
