[Ovmsdev] Add ChaDeMo and CSS to car_chargemode

[Tom Saxton]

The chargemode currently encodes software charging profiles, based on what the Roadster offers. It's similar to what the early Leafs offered, charging to full or charge to 80%, but more complex setting both a charging limit and target battery temperature ranges.

What you are proposing adding is to encode the charging connection type, which is a different kind of thing, orthogonal to the car's chosen charging profile.

A Roadster can charge in any of the four profiles from either a Level 1 connection (120V, 12A to 16A) or Level 2 (208V to 240V at up to 70A), for example Standard mode on Level 1 or Range mode on Level 2. So, you can't encode both a charging profile and a connection type with a single number. A Leaf is similar in how those two interact.

To me, the interesting thing is more the charge rate (V/A or kW) more than which connector my car uses. I don't need OVMS to tell me how I plugged in, but I do care about knowing how fast it's charging.
