Load balancing FAQ

Load balancing helps an EV charger use available electrical capacity without overloading the building connection. It is especially relevant for homes with heat pumps, solar panels, batteries or multiple charging points.

Key questions

What is dynamic load balancing?

Dynamic load balancing adjusts the charging power based on real-time electricity use in the building. When other appliances need more capacity, charging can slow down. When capacity is available, charging can increase again.

When do I need load balancing?

Load balancing is recommended when the available connection is limited, when multiple chargers are installed, or when the building also uses high-consumption systems such as heat pumps, HVAC, kitchens, workshops or battery systems.

Does load balancing matter for design?

Yes. In premium projects, the best result is both visually calm and technically stable. Planning load balancing early avoids visible later additions, oversized infrastructure or compromises in charger placement.

What load balancing systems does Veton support?

Veton supports static load balancing out of the box and dynamic load balancing through external meters and energy management systems. The underlying charging controller is the Phoenix Contact CHARX series, which is OCPP-compatible and integrates with grid-aware controllers such as Xemex SCC and energy management platforms including Qbus Luqas, Niko Home Control and LifePowr FlexiO. For larger projects, up to 48 Veton charging points can be controlled in one centrally managed group, with multiple groups possible.
