# Growatt THOR EV Charger

> Growatt THOR EV Charger is a Marketplace integration for Home Assistant. It has 51 installs sharing analytics, works locally and was last updated November 4, 2026.

Growatt THOR EV Charger connects a Growatt THOR EV charger to Home Assistant locally over OCPP 1.6. It works without the Growatt cloud and is set up in the UI, asking for a port and an installation location. It adds buttons to start and stop charging, numbers for maximum current and load balancing limit, selects for charging strategy and authorization mode, switches, time entries for scheduled charging, and many sensors. Sensors cover charger status, power, current and voltage per phase, session energy and temperature, and are compatible with the Energy Dashboard. Options include a local RFID allowlist and a choice to allow starts from Home Assistant. It is an unofficial community project, tested on the THOR 22AS, and the README warns of firmware reboots on the charger.

### After setup

- **Installation location**
- **Restrict RFID access to the allowlist**: Enables local checking of physical RFID identifiers. An enabled empty list rejects every card.
- **Allow starts from Home Assistant**: Allows starts through HA controls, services, and automations. No technical identifier needs to be added to the RFID list.
- **RFID allowlist (one identifier per line)**: Up to 100 exact OCPP identifiers of 1–20 characters. The list is stored locally and shown again when this dialog opens. Delete a line to remove it; identifiers are omitted from normal logs and diagnostics.
- **Yes, change the charger mode**
