charger.power
Rate at which energy is transferred to an electric vehicle's battery (in kilowatts)
High-Level Explanation
How fast an electric vehicle is being charged from a charger, in kilowatts. This is the rate of energy transfer per time, which is called power.
This signal is an integer (meaning there are no fractional values for the rate of charge), and can take values from 0 and up (practically, this value should never be more than approximately 400).
Generally, the power delivered by level of charger is:
For level 1 charges:
For level 2 charges:
For level 3 charges:
Additionally, for Tesla superchargers specifically, there are currently three types of supercharging stations:
V1 has about 72 kw capability
V2 has about 150 kw capability
V3 has about 250 kw capability
Although many other values exist practically for various reasons. For example, for an example vehicle that generally charges at a level 1 charger, there is one value of charger.power that is 0 (for the first record in a charging event where charging is True, then all subsequent values of charger.power in the charging event are 1)
