This would be awesome - someone Kickstart it or something.

- p1mrx 8y agoClipperCreek sells EV chargers with a UART interface to set the charging rate (in 25% increments), so it should be relatively straightforward to stuff a Raspberry Pi or something in there. But that option costs an extra $184, and the UART protocol is only available under NDA, which probably makes it difficult to open source.
- sokoloff 8y agoThe J1772 spec is well documented and supports the "advertisement" of maximum charging current. You could add the capability to something like OpenEVSE. https://www.openevse.com/ https://www.openevse.com/
- p1mrx 8y agoAt the moment, I'm pretty sure I have enough panel capacity for a plain old EVSE, but if I do need something controllable, then OpenEVSE looks really interesting. Thanks. Here's an example of OpenEVSE tracking solar capacity, which is basically equivalent to panel load management: https://github.com/OpenEVSE/ESP8266_WiFi_v2.x#solar-pv-divert-example https://github.com/OpenEVSE/ESP8266_WiFi_v2.x#solar-pv-diver...
