Edwin,

welcome :-)

There really seem to be quite some similarities, e.g. the battery 
capacity is read from PID 41A3 for both Volt & Bolt, and the SOC is 
available at PID 8334 on both. So it's probably worth giving the Volt 
adaption a try and using that as the template.

Looking at the most current polling vehicle addition (Hyundai Ioniq vFL) 
may also be worth while, as that demonstrates the current 
recommendations on handling poll responses etc.

That's pretty straight forward:

  * The column "ModeAndPID" includes the combination of the request type
    (aka mode, mostly 22) and the actual PID.
  * Column "Header" is the address of the ECU to query for that PID. The
    response address is that value + 8 if not specified explicitly.
  * The "Equation" needs to be implemented by the poll reply handler.

Example: for the SOC, fetching 228334 from ECU 7E4 translates to this 
polling list entry:

     { 0x7e4, 0x7ec, VEHICLE_POLL_TYPE_OBDIIEXTENDED, 0x8334, {  0, 
10,   10 },  0, ISOTP_STD }, // SOC

…because VEHICLE_POLL_TYPE_OBDIIEXTENDED = 22 (you could also use 
VEHICLE_POLL_TYPE_READDATA or write 0x22 if you like).

The timing { 0, 10, 10 } means no polling in state 0, polling every 10 
seconds in poll states 1 & 2. State 3 is unused. You use the poll states 
to model different poll frequencies per vehicle state (e.g. off / 
driving / charging).

In PID equations, "A" refers to the first payload byte, "B" to the 
second and so on. For single frame responses, the poll reply handler can 
simply read directly from the "data" byte array.

So A*100/255 translates to: data[0] * 100.0f / 255.0f

Regards,
Michael
