Control charging of multiple EVs from a single user account

Feature Requests
1

This feature will allow:

  • Controlling multiple EVs / Smart chargers at a single site
  • Setting charging priority (and limits) for each EV / charger
2

That would be great.
Maybe that could fulfill my request of controlling a charger with two connectors.

Hi Andrew.
Just curious - do you think this feature will be added?
And do you think that adding this feature would help me with my Orbis Viaris Combi+ charger that has two connectors - so I can control both connectors?

Controlling a multi-port charger is separate feature unfortunately.

We have to prioritise features that benefit the largest number of users. There are many many more users who have more than one EV, each with its own charger, or simply sharing a single charger, so this will come first.

Hi Andrew,

Any ETA when the two EVs being controlled on one account will be enabled? With two EVs in our household it would be great to coordinate the charging across both to get the most benefit out of the solar system this summer. Currently I have to control one manually and let the app manage the charge speed of the second one to modulate and soak up the excess leftover solar generation.

Thanks

Andrew

At the moment you can use multiple accounts for multiple EVs. See:

It works reasonably well with the exception that there’s limited ability to prioritise which EV charges from solar first.

Control of multiple EVs in a single account is stalled whilst we wait to see what Tesla do with their API pricing.

Do we have any indication of when Tesla will be updating their API pricing?

I’m operating with two accounts (one for each charger), and keen to get it back in one place - so, hoping that the pricing will be acceptable for you to run a profitable business, and then back in the software enhancement game!

Also hopeful that, as more and more cars come into the market, more will adopt OCPP and less reliance on the Tesla API, but I have no idea of the real numbers - and we know from your posts that most of your users are still Tesla owners, yes?

Sorry Sue but we still don’t know anything more at this time. We’ll be sure to post updates when we do.
