[Ovmsdev] i-Miev/C-Zero/iOn

[Thomas Bergo]

There is delivered some Citroen C-Zero with a smaller battery pack (13 KWh
VS 16 KWh.) The ideal range for the 13 KWh battery I believe is 80 miles
and for the 16 KWh battery the ideal range is 150km (93 miles).

To calculate the ideal range correctly for both battery size we need a way
to distinguish between them.

Do you think that there will be any issues by using the Feature 14, Car
bits, to indicate which battery pack the car has?

Regards, Thomas
