Is anyone doing level 2 charging with their sol-ark inverters? How is it working out? Are you using the grid or are you able to add some charge off-grid?

Not sure if my critical loads panel can support the charging.
 
The answer is going to depend on the model of SolArk since there are several different passthrough capacities. You really need to post your model number for a meaningful answer.

I don’t have a SolArk but you can set the charge current on many L2 chargers to stay within the capacity of your inverter/battery.

I don’t know if there are good purely off grid automatic L2 throttling solutions. Most of the residential off the shelf options assume you are on grid and use zero export/self consumption kind of tactic to absorb excess solar. Going down the rabbit hole yet more, those solutions also seem biased towards installations without batteries, you would probably need a solution from SolArk to get the capability to prioritize EV charging vs battery charging. Or get good with programming your own.
