  • I think my experience is skewed by not having a dcfc capable car. I charge exclusively j1772. And use plugshare to find the chargers. In 5 years of ownership I’ve charged not at home probably 150 times. Of those times I would say I couldn’t get the charger to work maybe 20 times. And of those 20 probably half didn’t have any other option at the same location that I was able to get working.

    Again this is skewed by filtering through plug share and not even attempting locations that have comments claiming they’re broken.




















  • I have enphase inverters as well. I don’t find their data to be useful.

    I went the route of installing two circuit setup boards running esp8266. One is installed in the subpanel in the garage where the solar feeds, the other is installed at the main panel on the main cables before any loads.

    This way I can more accurately see production and usage. And can tell during production how much I’m actually utilizing before sending residual back to grid.

    If I had only one panel and the solar fed directly into it, I’d use one of the 6 channel circuitsetup boards instead to monitor both solar feed and main.
