Detecting Electric Vehicle (EV) devices

If anyone with a 240V charging Tesla (or two) in PG&E’s territory is interested, I’m trying to figure out if my kludged together Tesla charging “detector” can work across multiple houses. To run it for your house/cars, I would need:

  • Your PG&E “Green Button” output for whatever period of time you want me to try to extract the EV charging. I can combine multiple years.

  • If you have solar (and a net meter), I would also require your Sense data for the same period of time. I need solar so that I can (kind of) recombine your 15 min PG&E net meter readings back into something close to 15 min Total Consumption. That’s what I have to do for my setup.

  • In return, I’ll give you back a Sense-compatible hourly data file that contains what my detector finds as well as weekly/ bi-weekly waveform PNGs or PDFs showing what my detector did (example below)

The whole experiment is documented here, in the link below. PM me if you are interested.
