PodPoint Current Energy Sensor about pod-point-home-assistant-component

Hi, I think this is down to how you are displaying the value, this seems to be showing a 'change' in value, assuming that any value will always be an increase.

In fact the sensor uses data provided by the PodPoint APIs to show the current charge session 's amount. This number resets to 0 when the session ends (usually when the cable is unplugged from either the pod, or vehicle).

When viewing the history data within Home Assistant directly it displays as intended:

It looks like you are graphing the data in a different way in your tab which is the cause of your issue. Home assistant is saying 'the previous value was 2000w, now it's 0, so that's a -2000w change in value'. You might want to plot the change in 'Total Energy', as this is an always increasing value:

I hope this helps!
