ev-dynacharge.pl - Dynamically charge an electric vehicle based on the energy budget of the house
./ev-dynacharge.pl [--host <MQTT server hostname...> ]
This script allows to dynamically steer the charging process of an electric vehicle. It fetches energy consumption values over MQTT and based on the balance and the selected operating mode it will set the charge current of the chargepoint where the vehicle is connected to.
This is very much a work in progress, additional documentation and howto information will be added after the intial field testing is done.
This repository contains all required files to build a minimal Alpine linux container that runs the script. The advantage of using this method of running the script is that you don't need to setup the required Perl environment to run the script, you just bring up the container.
To do this check out this repository, configure the MQTT broker host, username and password in the .env file and run:
docker compose up -d.
The README.md file in this repo is generated from the POD content in the script. To update it, run
pod2github bin/ev-dynacharge.pl > README.md
