Installation experience
⚠️ Critical Prerequisites
- Do not unplug the car: Ensure no vehicle is charging during the update.
- Stable Connection: If updating via Wi-Fi, ensure the signal is strong. If updating via USB, do not remove the drive until finished.
- Correct File: Installing firmware meant for a different hardware revision (e.g., loading EVC04 firmware on an EVC11) can "brick" the device. Check your serial number sticker before downloading.
- Obtain the firmware file (usually
EVC10_v3.2.1.binor similar). Vestel does not host public archives. You must request from Vestel Support (support@vestel-ev.com) or your original energy supplier (e.g., E.On, Octopus Energy). - Format USB drive to FAT32, allocation unit size 4096 bytes. Copy the
.binfile to the root directory (no folders). - Power off the wallbox at the circuit breaker (RCBO/ MCB). Wait 30 seconds.
- Open the wallbox (EVC04: remove bottom Torx screw; EVC10/EVC30: unlock the front cover with the provided key). Warning: This exposes live terminals if the breaker is still on – double-check with a voltage tester.
- Insert the USB into the internal USB-A port (located near the main PCB, labeled "SERVICE").
- Re-apply power. The wallbox will boot into bootloader mode automatically. The LED will pulse amber.
- Wait for completion (up to 10 minutes). The wallbox will beep three times when done. Remove USB.
- Close the unit, power cycle again, and confirm via the app or local display.
