# Victron EV Charging Station

Source: https://docs.evcc.io/en/chargers/victron-ev-charging-station

Enter the host of the charger (not the GX device) and ensure that the charger is in manual mode.

To enable 1P/3P phase switching a hardware modification is required: the 4P contactor must be replaced with 2×2P contactors. The first contactor switches L1+N, the second switches L2+L3 and is controlled by the second relay on the PCB. Register 5100 must be set to 1 to enable phase switching.
