I'm more thinking about the big picture where "everyone's PV" is creating a big
surge on the utility and selective charging could flatten out that surge.
Good point about most people being at work. Good argument for having some
sort of incentive to provide work charging.
Anyway, sure about the limited use, but honestly seems like a pretty simple
software mod and worth doing if you have lots of capacity to spare anyway and
missing a charge or even the last 20% of a charge wouldn't be a huge deal.
Not as good or fancy as telematics, but hey, it's dirt simple too as it's only
software.

It would be really simple to control an EVSE to track the amps the PV system
is generating. Any EVSE with wifi hardware already in there could do this with
just a software update. Any EV with telematics could also have software
installed to do this, no extra hardware needed. The largest issue is that
most people are not home during the day, except maybe on weekends, so it would
be of limited use.

Interesting. My PV has a huge surge around midday, but tapers off
dramatically. I would think youwould want to capitalize on this to level it
out. (even fancier would be to know the weather) So
an algorithm would be something like: Estimate time to charge. Calculate
time to start centering around noon.
I'm guessing this would be particularly useful in California.
I looked a little and tried to find this, but didn't see anything as you
describe.
Can you send some link or something?

Stupid arguments on both sides, but it did get me thinking..
Since most of the time the car knows what time it is, why not have a software
option to prioritize the onboard chargers to charge during daylight hours to
use a greater percentage of solar? When you have a lot of unused range
anyway, you don't need to keep topping off the car during the night..you can
just delay until the sun comes up.
Seems a relatively simple software change that could have pretty big power
considerations.
