In addition, there's this forum -- http://myimiev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4409 -- which details some of the CAN bus stuff. 

And some pre-existing work: http://myimiev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4817

There are lots of other parameters (range, temperature, odometer, speed, vin, tpms, etc) that are nice to have, but are either optional (nice-to-have) or can generally be derived from these three key messages - so long as they can be found. For example, on the Volt/Ampera we don't know the detailed charge messages, but do know whether the car is charging or not - we can assume charge interrupted if the charge finishes before 95% complete. Similarly, if the range of the car is XXkm, we can estimate the current range based on XX * SOC%. If the car has no GPS details on the CAN bus, then we can use the GPS in the OVMS module itself.
