I have 2 EV’s installed (Tesla & Volvo) on the Homey-Pro. I also have a “non-intelligent” Tesla charger installed. Values are transmitted from EV to Homey, so there is no problem with recognizing the EV’s ![Screenshot 2025-05-07 104506](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/f/0f6e5fcf6f4558c88530089c3a179bd47725005c.png) . How can I get the EV’s visiualized in the Energy Tab while charging? ---

It’s not possible yet. Screenshots with the car button are mockups or from alpha version. It’s comming with FW 12.4.5 or later. And the car will only shown up as button/tile with battery icon and charging state. For energy data, you need an ev charger device. > **[Energy | Homey Apps SDK](https://apps.developer.homey.app/the-basics/devices/energy)** > > By defining the energy usage (or generation) of the devices your app supports users can generate detailed reports of their energy consumption. There is a paragraph for EVs. ---

Hi Ronny, Thank you for the update! I guess I have to wait… 🙂 ---

@RonnyW is it maybe possible to “emulate” the required parameters for the energy display? (car in garage). I can see your tesla app reports all the data, cable connect, charging current and so on. Btw great job with the Tesla integration, I really appreciate it 👏 ---

The car/garage is not shown based on a car, but based on a EV charger. So you need a charger. Reason: the charger is part of the house usage. The car will charge also on the way. Cars will just be shown as a tile with current usage. ---

Thanks for the quick reply. I was looking for a workaround as I have a “dumb” charger, and since I can control that from your tesla integration, I thought that there might have been a way to get it emulated as an ev charger in the energy display.
