✅ Chevy Bolt EV + EUV support updates

Logs emailed to you while charging. Screenshot attached of the data it’s pulling.

Sidebar: any intentions to add this information to the UI in CarPlay? Would love to be able to view charge rates among battery temperature on the maps overlay.

Definitely. I need to think about the best way to visually represent this information. Usually the charger will show kWh being charged instead of A/V so I'd like to turn this into a single point metric in some way.

Added two more parameters (SHA: 9ca4f41):

• BOLT_HVBAT_CHRG_CNT: How many times you've charged the battery.
• BOLT_HVBAT_CHRG_LVL: The current charging level (e.g. DC fast charging vs A/C)

Based on your charge logs, it looks like the charge values were mostly always the same value, so I'm not 100% sure if they're correctly correlating to charge speed (which often has some amount of fluctuation). Where you charging on a public charger or at home for the recorded session?

[pianoman96]

I was charging at home so I’m not surprised it was a constant level for the time period. I’ll keep an eye on it when charging elsewhere.

Photo attached of newest features. Seems to be working great!

@wrd I've ported the parameters from the EUV to the Bolt EV in SHA: e7f6f9b. Can you update your parameters and confirm they're working on the EV model?

Thanks @jeff for your work–I've installed the app and it's picking up my Bolt EUV with the LeLink² OBD scanner!

As someone who purchased an Automatic OBD scanner (RIP) in 2013, Sidecar is a welcome return of the quantified car concept.

I currently use ABRP for EV route planning as the Bolt doesn't have anything built-in. If there's any way that Sidecar could connect up to Apple Maps to do the same, that would be amazing! I'm not a developer, and perhaps it requires some entitlement that's only granted to vehicle manufacturers, but these SiriKit intents look interesting: https://developer.apple.com/documentati ... ntresponse.

Thank you @dvdbyd! Glad you're enjoying the app I've got turn-by-turn directions on the backlog and am planning on adding it to Sidecar in the medium term future. I think Sidecar can provide a really cool navigation experience with the combination of historical trip logging + real time vehicle signals
