The Cerbo's definitely capable of handling that architecture, though you might find the VE.can bus gets a bit chatty if you're not careful with instance numbering.

Been wrestling with this exact scenario on my setup, so thought I'd share what I've learned. Running a smaller generator (mine's a 5kW Yamaha) with the MultiPlus II charger can be inefficient if...

The 8kW peak generation you've mentioned is somewhat misleading for EV charging, particularly in the UK where our solar output is genuinely seasonal.

Running induction means you're looking at sustained 3-4kW draws. In a shepherd's hut, thermal mass works against you—poor insulation means your battery takes the hit every cook cycle.
