Automatic home charging capture

Set up in 20 minutes. Plug it in once. Every charging session is captured automatically — kWh, cost, start and end time. No subscription, no manual entry.

Automatic capture currently supports Level 1 (120V) home charging.

That's the standard 3-prong wall outlet your car's included charge cable plugs into. If you have a dedicated wall charger or a 240V outlet installed by an electrician, that's Level 2 — automatic tracking for Level 2 hardware is in development. For now you can still use GarageWatts with manual or SOC-based session entry on Level 2.
