The integration of these cars is possible through the python plugin domoticz-hyundai-kia available at https://github.com/CreasolTech/domoticz-hyundai-kia . <br />
<br />
Using this plugin is possible to monitor the battery state of charge (for electric cars), that lead to the ability to enable / disable charging based on the power availability from photovoltaic, for example, improving the own-consumption. <br />
<br />
Also it works with non-EV cars from Hyundai and Kia, monitoring the fuel level and range, climate, location, vehicle sensors, ....<br />

==Installation==<br />
Check instructions to install the plugin on the github README, https://github.com/CreasolTech/domoticz-hyundai-kia<br />

Domoticz wiki has a page describing [[Electric Vehicles charging using Domoticz|Electric Vehicles charging solutions]] <br />
<br />
In this section we'll describe how to charge an electric car using EVSE modules compatible with Domoticz <br />
<br />
==Charging the electric car using a DomBusEVSE module==<br />
[[File:DomBusEVSE wallbox for Domoticz.png|alt=EVSE module to build a DIY wallbox compatible for Domoticz|right|EVSE module to build a DIY wallbox compatible for Domoticz]]<br />
This is an advanced solution that uses the EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) module [https://www.creasol.it/CreasolDomBusEVSE DomBusEVSE made by Creasol], in Italy: it<br />
<br />
*detects plug connection and disconnection, start and stop charging<br />
*detects alarms from vehicle and failure in mains power supply<br />
*interfaces a '''bidirectional energy meter to know the real time import or export power from grid''', and another energy meter to measure the power and energy feed to the vehicle<br />
*operates as stand-alone (no need for a domotic controller) or managed mode (charging current selected by the domotic controller) with the following charging mode: '''OFF''': charging disabled '''SOLAR''': use only energy from renewable plant (power from grid = 0) '''25%''': max 25% of available power from grid '''50%''': max 50% of power from grid '''75%''': max 75% of power from grid '''100%''': use all available pwoer from grid MANAGED: current value set by domotic controller (automation script for custom charging)<br />
*operating in the a '''MANAGED mode''' it's possible to 1. easily set the '''minimum and maximum battery level''' 2. easily set the '''maximum charging current''' 3. '''when battery level is below minimum, charge at the max power''' permitted by the electricity meter (in Italy, alternates 90 minutes at maximum power + 27% and 90 minutes at maximum power + 10%, '''''it's not possible to charge faster!''''' The electrical system must be checked carefully when using maximum power, to avoid overheating and fires!!) 4. '''when battery level is between minimum and maximum, charge using only power from renewable energy from photovoltaic'''<br />

===Prerequisites and connection diagram===<br />
<br />
#electric vehicle with cloud connection, to know the battery state of charge (not mandatory, but recommended when used inside a home automation system)<br />
#[https://www.creasol.it/CreasolDomBusEVSE Creasol DomBusEVSE module]<br />
#bidirectional energy meter, to compute the current import power and export power (optional, in case of photovoltaic/wind system)<br />
#circuit breaker with differential protection (residual current block) type-B<br />
#2P (single phase) or 4P (3-phases) contactor to enable/disable charging<br />
#32A EV cable with type-2 or type-1 plug on one side<br />

<br />
==Warnings==<br />
Electric car is not a vacuum cleaner, that stay attached to the mains socket for 30 minutes!<br />
<br />
Keep in mind that '''power dissipation''' on connectors (and cables) is computed as '''P=RI²''' where R is the connector/wire resistance, and I² is the square of charging current.<br />
<br />
As result, '''when the charge current is high, the system must be checked to prevent connections and wires from overheating and burning'''.<br />
