  • Preventing their creation on newly installed computers. No workaround as of now.

  • As far as I know in France specifically, your installation must be done by a certified installer if and only if you want to take advantage of the tax credit for installing an EVSE at home.

    Basically that would mean paying 1200€ to have 600€ back in tax credit. Better install it yourself for less than 300€ and a big afternoon of work IMHO.

    If you don’t call a certified installer, any electrician can do it and, as far as I know, no one can force you to have a certification for this. Same installation as an electric oven, so basically something pretty standard overall.

    Regarding software/firmware updates, I honestly don’t know. It’s open, so I guess you could see if the security part is done properly (or touched at all for that matter…).

  • Curious about the automations? Linked to solar panels?

    I connected mine to Home Assistant via MQTT but could find any meaningful use to it since.

  • And no safety regulation? No CE marking, no refuse to operate if the gnd line is not well established, no gracefully fail without degrading the safety?

    Safety is builtin: https://openev.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/6000113537-openevse-safety-features

    There are some information about ground line. I’ve experienced it myself while my type 2 socket was malfunctioning: OpenEVSE cuts everything pretty quickly in case there is more than 150ohms on ground or more than 20mA leak to ground.

    My brother is an electrician and helped me install it 4 years ago. Basically, as long as you have the right panel, there should be no issue.

  • I’m pretty it would be possible to control leds simply using OpenEVSE capabilities. Worst case scenario, a bit of MQTT should be enough.

  • EU (French) user: 7.2kWh line (32A@230V), no particular regulation, this is a standard installation for oven in France. The only mandatory thing that comes to mind is: it has to be hardwired.

  • OpenEVSE doesn’t cost very much (I imported it back then for less than 250€ total, including tarrifs). Doing the installation yourself saves you a lot of money too.

    And finally, you are in control of your EVSE and can expose it to Internet or not, upgrade the firmware or not, etc…

  • Have you ever waited to charge on a DC Charger?

    Jump

  • Depends on the country. In France, we have a relatively stable, performant and available charging infrastructure for DC or AC (with a lot of 22kW AC charger because of the Renault Zoé). In Belgium, Italy or Spain things are a lot sparser and difficult for EV owners.

    EDIT: ChargeMaps seems to be a more European friendly alternative to PlugShare. In my own neighbourhood, I saw only 1 AC station on PlugShare, 3 DC station + a lot of AC station on ChargeMaps which reflects the reality more closely.

    Jump

  • I had a very basic Renault Zoé (40kWh battery, 22kW AC charging) until today, so I feel the pain.

    But on the bright side, it’s very difficult to have to wait for a charger

    Jump

  • That's generally what I think I would do. Just get to the next charger, exiting the highway of necessary.

  • I'm in Europe, I don't know if PlugShare makes sense where I am.

  • I find the DB sync system in Actual a bit odd. Don't get me wrong it seems to work but I'm afraid it might corrupt in some corner cases.

  • I already have a lot of things using PHP (phpBB, Wordpress, FreshRSS, etc…) so that’s kind of a no-brainer for me. But I get the point, not very popular these days.
