Is there a way to generate a MyGeotab report showing real time EV charging status

I would like to email a list of recipient a daily EV report showing real time EV charging status (is charging or not) and what's the % of charge at the time when the report was generated.

 

Thank you.

Generating an excel report with real-time status is possible using the Measurements report, select timeframe = Today, and selecting the diagnostics you want to see --- in this case "generic state of charge" and "electric vehicle charging state".

 

However... this can easily generate large excel files, and those excel files would be out of date the second after they get generated (because real-time status is constantly changing)

 

I suspect that what you really want is a way to report on EV charging problems. If that's true, I would:

  • Set up the Rule "EV Stopped in Charging Zone and Not Charging" with appropriate parameters
  • Use an Exceptions report to show all of the times that "EV Stopped in Charging Zone and Not Charging" rule was violated.

Using the Exceptions report will generate files of a reasonable size, and only show you the information you really need (charging issues).

 

I'm interested to learn more about what you are trying to do @YWang-2098​ 

Who are you sending this information to, and what decisions does that person need to make? What would make thier lives easier?

You can book 30 minutes in my calendar to talk it over in more detail, if you like.
