Alexa Integration   Circuit Design We made an EVSE from parts on Banggood & Aliexpress mostly 16A 3.7 kW EV charging controller board + Type 1 EV  Current Sensor This is the key component for controlling charge level and auto shut off at the end of the charge. Probably saves a wee bit of energy with the power to the EVSE disconected in the off state also. Irms = emon1.calcIrms( 1480 ); // Calculate Irms only Kw = (Irms * 230.0 ) / 1000.0 ; float hours = (millis() - lastMillis) / ( 1000.0 * 3600.0 ) ; TotalChargeHours += hours; lastMillis = millis(); //CALC KWH if ( abs (Kw) > 0.1 ) KWh += (Kw * hours); Note: You must add a suitable burden resistor if one is not on the CT board already or the high voltage will damage the Arduino. The one shown has a burden resistor. PCB size 30.0mm X 24.0mm X 1.6mm Compatible interfaces 2.54 3-pin interface and 4-pin Grove interface Transformation coefficient 1000:1 Input current 0 - 5 A Output current 0 - 5 mA Sa

 You can get from Christchurch to Hokatika now in a 30KWh Leaf due to new rapid chargers. The elevation is around 900 meters at Castle Hill Should have plenty of range dropping down into Hokatika around 4.7KWh of gravitational potential, which is around 26 KM of range in the Leaf. Rule of thumb for a Leaf 30 is 1000meters of elevation is 15 to 20% range  from experience.
