Charge type would become important if you were automatically sending charge session data back (anonymously) to the OCM database… ᐧ [image: --] Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield [image: https://]about.me/aminorjourney <https://about.me/aminorjourney?promo=email_sig> On Tue, Dec 8, 2015 at 10:46 AM, Tom Saxton <tom@idleloop.com> wrote:
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.

Hi guys,
I would like to have ChaDeMo and CSS added to car_chargemode, and maybe Type 1 and Type 2 too. Then we can display those names in the apps and maybe even add images for those charge plugs. I would propose this: 0x00 - Standard 0x01 - Storage 0x02 - ??? 0x03 - Range 0x04 - Performance 0x05 - ChaDeMo 0x06 - CSS 0x07 - J1772 Type 1 0x08 - Mennekes Type 2
What to you guys think? Would it be problematic for the server and/or apps if suddenly the Kia Souls stated sending chargemode 0x05?
Best regards, Geir
