Tools to schedule and monitor home EV charging

The problem, in plain words: “I want to charge my electric car at home overnight on cheap electricity but I keep forgetting to plug it in and I'm never sure when it's fully charged.”

ev.energy: Smart EV Car Charge fits best.

You want reliable overnight EV charging at home using cheaper electricity, without forgetting to plug in and with clear “fully charged” timing.

What fits

ev.energy: Smart EV Car Charge logo
ev.energy: Smart EV Car Chargestrong · 86

It automates home EV charging by scheduling it during off-peak/cheaper overnight energy periods, and it’s built around setting when you need the car ready plus the ability to monitor charging cost/carbon impact—directly matching your goal of not having to remember timing and having clear charge planning for completion.

Best for: Home EV charging automation that targets off-peak electricity overnight.

Partly fits

Predbatpartial · 66

It can automatically control charging based on tariff/solar forecasts within a Home Assistant setup, which matches the automation and “use cheap electricity overnight” part, but it’s specifically for people already running Home Assistant and typically focused on solar/battery optimization.

Won’t cover: It’s an option mainly for people already running Home Assistant, not a standalone EV charging reminder for any home setup.

OCPP for Home Assistantpartial · 52

It brings EV charger status, control, and charging session data into Home Assistant for OCPP-compliant chargers, which can support knowing charging state and automation—but it’s an integration rather than a complete overnight scheduling/notification solution by itself.

Won’t cover: It focuses on integrating OCPP charger data into Home Assistant rather than providing an end-to-end “schedule overnight charging and confirm completion” experience.

Solar Offset for Tesla Energypartial · 43

It’s positioned to plan the best days to charge an electric car based on a solar production forecast, which overlaps with optimizing charging for cheaper/optimal times, but it’s specifically for Tesla Energy/home solar contexts rather than general “plug-in and confirm fully charged overnight” support.

Won’t cover: It’s tailored to homeowners using Tesla Energy and solar monitoring, so it may not fit your specific EV charger setup for always-on overnight completion alerts.
