Hi Phil,

The Car CAN bus isn't on when the car is charging. That's fine for apps
where you're sitting in the car, and either the car is on or you can turn it
on in accessory mode, but it's a deal breaker for remote monitoring.

I don't know all the details, but I have followed some of the development of
the can bus hardware monitoring for the Leaf.
Much of the first attempts were using the EV can bus, but they discovered
you can get one of the ECU's to forward requests/responses for you and thus
they dropped making EV can bus requests and can use the regular car can bus.
This makes all the cables standard.

If you dig around on the leaf forum (or ask garygid) you can get all the
details.
