I took from Teslas design and made a similar UI using Home Assistant. It even detects when my car is plugged in and shows if it’s charging/current state of charge. I’m working on adding animations to the power flow.
I recently added the ability to sync the available solar power to the car charging rate as well, which is the amperage Current/Future labels next to the car. Since I don’t have a “grid” to push excess energy to it took a bit more work to figure out how much solar energy I could produce even if the battery is full.
My equipment consists of many brands (Victron, MPP Solar, EG4 Battery, etc) and I wanted a clean way to display the stats for all of them together. I am pulling data from my Victron Cerbo and Solar Assistant. Home Assistant is very flexible.
