Connect your go-e to Victron
Phaeton runs on your Victron system and adds your go-e as a Victron EV charging station. It shows in VRM and charges the car from solar surplus.

What you get
- Your charger appears in VRM and on the Victron display with its charging power and status.
- Auto mode follows the solar production and household use your Victron system measures, not only the grid meter.
- Manual, Auto and Scheduled charging from Phaeton's own page on your Victron system.
- Switches between one and three phases when the charger allows it, so charging can start with less sun.
Why not the charger's own solar mode?
A charger's own solar mode usually reads only the grid meter. With a Victron home battery, the battery takes the surplus first, so the meter shows little export and the charger keeps waiting. Phaeton reads production and use from the Victron system itself.

For the go-e:
Requires local HTTP API v2. Enable it in the go-e app and enter the local charger address. The older API v1 and go-e cloud are not used.
Phaeton controls current, charging permission and phase switching. Select one or three phases in the go-e app first; Phaeton does not take the charger out of automatic phase mode itself.
