Hi,
I would like to know what compatibility and features exist for OVMS and my 2016 Leaf 30kwh. I’m also not sure which version of OVMS to get.
Ideally I’d like to get the state of charge and be able to start the climate control remotely. I live in New Zealand where Carwings is not supported so my fancy EV has no fancy features :(
Any help would be appreciated!
Your 2016 30kWh Nissan LEAF is fully supported by OVMS.
There is only one version of OVMS hardware, currently V3.
You will need to order an OVMS v3 module + Nissan LEAF ODB2 cable + GSM/GPS antenna.
Usually OVMS requires the carwings module (TCU) to be unplugged before remote climate activation using OVMS can be used. However, since you model does not have connectivity remote climate will probably work straight away.
OVMS hardware can be ordered from Europe (UK): https://shop.openenergymonitor.com/open-vehicle-monitoring-ovms-wifi-3g-...
Or China: https://www.fasttech.com/search?ovms
