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

[Matt Beard OVMS]

I think my hardware may have a dodgy connection as it is working again!

I am using the hex file Thomas sent (one that failed yesterday!)

I noticed that the charge level is reported wrongly. I am using a 16A
charger (and the car does charge at > 13A) yet the C-Zero code is reporting
the charge type as "STANDARD 13A" and the charge current is showing as 12A.
