Thank you for your suggestions! - We use each and every one in various ways when we discuss new features!
What we are working on with the dashboard, is to make it configurable so that practically any data that is sent to the server, can be visualized in a widget, in various ways.
That will make some of the suggestions possible, but some of the other suggestions needs some kind of state to function.
We are also working on the ability to retrieve CAN traffic, which will allow you guys to figure out the different commands to retrieve various battery related data from your EVs, which can then be used to make the platform much more intelligent regarding what information to show, and how to show it.
Like triggering charging events from the device, and then displaying those on the map.
It would be cool to utilize data from openchargemap in various ways, like if the car has been charging, it could look up the station, and then display the price along with a charge icon on the trip map, and of course sum the prices together to have historical data about how much was spent.
That could also be used for regular cars.
I have a few questions about some of the suggestions.
What constitutes a failed charge? One that did not complete?
Can you elaborate on the last suggestion? (WiFi hotspot support for Hyundai Kona)
But of course, the first steps for us with regard to EVs, is to make it compatible with the trip logic, but we hope to have an update ready before long. On EV’s the RPM OBDII value is not returned, so we need another way to figure out if the vehicle is in drive mode, or a combination of different ways, to make it as robust and stable as possible.
Many thanks for the response. Still looking forward to getting my Auto pi and my electric car !
What constitutes a failed charge? One that did not complete?
Yes. I’m hoping there is some error message available from the ODB port that gives some useful info ( eg “Charging terminated due to overheating” ). Its a bit of a hot topic ( see https://twitter.com/ElecHighway/status/1037719578141442050 ) but it will be useful to track failed chargers ( thinking showing them in red on the map or a auto status post to openchargemap ).
Can you elaborate on the last suggestion? (WiFi hotspot support for Hyundai Kona)
Ah yes okay that makes sense.
Yeah, it will be interesting to see what information we can retrieve form the car when its charging or has been charged - And auto posting the result to openchargemap would be very cool, and very doable.
Ah okay - The autopi dongle already has a hotspot, so it should be as easy as configuring the SSID and password in the sat-nav
Again, thanks for taking the time to send us your ideas!
@plord
I bought Hyundai Kona, I will have it soon
I Bought autopi too
i want to do same thing as you…
so I am very interesting about how you can do it…
remy
@plord
ok, thank’s you ;)…
you think it is possible ? you can do it ?
we are 4 people in France who bought Kona, but we don’t know how to do it yet.
my Kona will come in February
my autopi still in the post office, I get it soon
I’ll soon receive my Kia e-Niro and I will place an order for an Autopi as soon as I can see State of Charge and other EV related stuff from a distance.
