Found one bug in the parameter decoding that was affecting BOLT_CHARGE_MODE specifically. With SHA: 9e8b4ec you should now see the app correctly reflect your car's charging state by updating your car icon to a charging variant.

https://github.com/ElectricSidecar/Chev ... ll/9/files for the change if you're curious.

I'm starting to design the custom icon for the Bolt but realizing there seems to have been at least two different faces to the car over the years. @pianoman96 do you mind sharing a picture of the front of your car so that I can match it up to the ideal stock photo frame?

Not sure which of the following styles to use as the outline template. Notably the headlight shapes has changed quite a bit, and that's one of the more distinctive aspects of the icons (especially at small sizes like on the watch face).

Ah I think I see the pattern now...seems the seahorse-shaped headlights are the newer model? I'll draw that one up first then. Sidecar doesn't support year-specific images yet but we'll build that bridge when we get there :)

Haha ok nevermind, I do need help. It looks like I was looking at the EV trim and not the EUV; it might still be helpful to have a photo of the front of your car to make sure that I'm designing the right icon. I may end up needing to make two, one for the EV and one for the EUV.

You’re on the right track. I believe the 2022-2023 EV and EUV share the same front end, including mind.

Thank you for the photo! Looks like the EUV and the EV have a slightly different lighting setup so I'll make sure to tune the symbols for each model.

Basic EUV outline now in place; will get the symbol landed and included in the next Sidecar release :)

Added four more parameters in SHA: f699018:

  • BOLT_CHARGE_AC_VOLT
  • BOLT_CHARGE_AC_CURR
  • BOLT_CHARGE_HV_VOLT
  • BOLT_CHARGE_HV_CURR

These parameters should, in theory, indicate the current charge speed of the vehicle. @pianoman96 if you're able to open the Battery parameters page while you're charging your car for 2-5 minutes and then share the logs, that would be super helpful! I can then hopefully use that data to wire the charging information up to the UI properly.
