Can we get the VIN from the EV CAN bus? I know it's on the Car CAN bus, but I'm behind on the current state of knowledge on what's know about getting info from the EV Bus.
https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System/blob/e4213e93... decodes the VIN but on my car at least, it doesn't work. There associated poll requests set up in https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System/blob/e4213e93... cause a relay to go click every 30s or so while the car is charging, so it's doing something, but on my car, not the right thing. In my branch I disabled the poll requests to stop the relay clicking and haven't come back to look at why it doesn't work yet.
I suspect the battery size is encoded in the VIN, but from some poking around online I'm guessing that encoding is in the Leaf service manual, which is behind a pay wall.
The earlier manuals are at https://carmanuals2.com/brand/nissan/leaf-2012-372 and I can't find a VIN decode in them, but maybe my search fu is weak.
