A holiday park can use the EV-ACS3205PE only where a pitch supply matches its plug: a 32 A five-pin CEE outlet on a three-phase supply. That fitting exists on some parks — at service points and better-equipped pitches — but it is the exception among pitch supplies, not the standard. And because the published specification states no lower-current setting for this charger, a smaller pitch supply cannot be dialled away. The match is made at the socket, or not at all.
Key Takeaways
- This charger works on a park only at pitches with a 32 A five-pin CEE outlet on a three-phase supply — the exception among pitch supplies.
- The match is tested pitch by pitch: fitting, printed 32 A rating, and three phases confirmed by the park’s electrician.
- No lower-current setting is stated, so smaller pitches are not a settings problem; the 16 A class has its own portable.
- The unit keeps no session records; guest management and payment stay the park’s own arrangements.
The Matching Test, Pitch by Pitch
Before buying anything, a park can audit its own pitches. Three checks decide whether this charger can work at a given pitch, and all three are observable:
- The fitting. The outlet is a five-pin CEE socket — the plug’s own class.
- The printed rating. The socket is marked 32 A. A five-pin socket of a smaller class is a different fitting.
- The supply behind it. Three phases actually reach the outlet — the point the park’s electrician confirms.
A pitch failing any one check is not a charging pitch for this unit. Our guide to CEE plugs, 16 A vs 32 A, explains the socket classes; the audit is a walk around the park with its electrician, done before purchase.
| What the pitch offers | This charger? | The park’s route |
|---|---|---|
| 32 A five-pin CEE outlet, three-phase supply | Yes — the full rating | Use it; one car at a time, moved pitch to pitch |
| 16 A five-pin CEE outlet, three-phase supply | No — a different socket class, and no lower setting is stated | The ACS1605PE, an 11 kW portable built for the 16 A class |
| A single-phase pitch hook-up, at any rating | No — one phase, a different fitting | Guest charging belongs on the park’s planned posts |
Where It Earns Its Keep on a Park
Where the matching supply exists, the portable shape suits park work. One unit, kept at reception or the service compound, can be carried to the pitch that needs it and serve several matching pitches across a week on a simple rota. Where a guest’s car accepts 22 kW of three-phase AC — conditionally, because many accept less — a changeover-day top-up is quick. Out of season it is unplugged and stored, leaving nothing on the pitch. General guest-charging planning is covered in our hotel EV charging guide; the park difference here is that the supply being matched is the pitch’s own.
What It Does Not Do for a Park
Two limits belong in the same decision. The published specification gives this model no app, no RFID and no session records: it cannot tell the park who charged or how much a guest took, so use is managed the park’s own way — a booking note, a key, a member of staff plugging in. A park needing card-separated guest records is planning fixed posts with a control layer: a different purchase. And what guests pay, and how energy is metered for that purpose, is the operator’s decision; where a park resells energy rather than including it, those questions belong to its local adviser, not to the charger’s specification.
The Charger in Brief
The EV-ACS3205PE is a 22 kW three-phase portable: 32 A per phase at 380–400 V, CEE five-pin plug, Type 2 to the car, a 1.77-inch display and an IP66 enclosure suited to outdoor pitch work. The audit above, not the brochure, decides how many pitches can feed it. The fixed side of the range is on our commercial EV charging page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can we plug it into a normal pitch hook-up?
Only if that hook-up is the matching article: a 32 A five-pin CEE outlet on a three-phase supply. A hook-up of a different class — smaller, or single-phase — does not fit this charger.
Can the charger be turned down for smaller pitches?
The published specification states no current settings for this model, so plan on the basis that it cannot. Any reduced setting would have to come from EVDANCE in writing before a park buys on that basis.
How many pitches can one unit cover?
One car at a time, at any pitch whose supply matches. Across a week it can move between those pitches as arrivals require; how far one unit stretches is a rota question, not a hardware figure.
