StephenEveryone checks the #CarbonIntensity of their electricity before they charge their #EV, right?

Rob!@stephenharlow ... well you could always have #homeassistant notify you that you should charge at a certain time :-)
@anxiumer18539 That's a great idea! I haven't looked into #HomeAssistant notifications, so I'll add it to the to-do list.

@stephenharlow @anxiumer18539 What you want is an automation that triggers the charge at optimal time.
Is there some Co2 intensity forecast available?
In the UK we have this: https://www.carbonintensity.org.uk/ (proof that there are some useful cases for AI) and I customised some integration to calculate optimal 4h windows for day ahead
@jfparis @anxiumer18539 That is very cool, certainly a step up from just eyeballing it, as I do. Unfortunately I don't think there is a #CarbonIntensity forecast available for NZ... yet. I will be suggesting it!

Your grid operator must have some models.
Question is are they opening the access to them.
