Automated Python utility to collect Zaptec EV charger usage and invoice details. Calculates a price per kWh and sends an invoice to the registered charger user using a third-party invoice solution.
Zaptec has a decent API. Invoice retrieval (electricity) and invoice distribution is done by faking browser sessions with Python.
I live within a housing association (townhouses) where the garages are separate from the houses. All chargers are on the same fuse box.
Commercial solutions providing the same service are typically $5/month for each user plus a 0.01USD fee for each kWh. I figured I could save myself and my neighbors some money.
Currently hosted on GitHub, but private repo as I am not too proud of my 3 evening rushed code.
