Feature request: EVCS read/display the SOC of the car battery

Hello,


Since many DC fast chargers are able to read the car battery SOC and display it, I guess there is a communication between the car and the charger, so if this is possible it would be useful to read this value and make it available to control how much percentage I want to charge the car.

Thank you.

Hi, no, it's a different communication protocol. Unfortunately not possible.

I don't have an EV, but that may change.

That said, we don't have to rely on code and protocols for everything.

Aren't there other indicators to be had, like:

Interpreting the car's PWM signals.

The magnitude of tail current as an indicator of SOC

Monitoring the amount of kW/h delivered can be interpreted by the user.

Being able to set the amount of kW/h to deliver would go a long way to fulfilling the OP's requirement.

Apologies if you have already addressed these potential features.

Amazing question.... I'm also interested about this basic information, could it be displayed?
