Over the past few weeks I've built a script that runs on my wireless router (using Tomato firmware) that looks at my car's state of charge each night and intelligently determines when to start charging in order to hit charge targets I set for weekdays (right before my electrical rates go up) and weekends, all without requiring any manual intervention or a 24x7 running computer. In this way I can be sure my car is always charged when I need it, at the best electrical rates, all while minimizing the total time spent at higher rates of charge, which should extend the overall lifetime of the battery.
My next goal is to have the basic settings configurable via a webpage that can be accessed anywhere, anytime. Without a huge amount of effort, I could extend the script to cover pre-conditioning using similar logic and API calls.
My question to the forum is in the above poll...
