Re: The Focus CHAdeMO mod returns - Part 2

I wouldn't expect a difference as the vehicle would be sending a value to the station rather than the station calculating it from other data.

I was mostly wondering if the car sends the raw pack SoC (that stops at like 90% when the car is "full") or the dash SoC. Sounds like the latter or at least a value very close to it.

Re: The Focus CHAdeMO mod returns - Part 2

Has anyone ever tried to control the battery's own contactors to implement dcfc?

I'm trying to find a way to do that.

I have a feeling you'd start seeing faults from the SOBDM thinking the contactors have welded themselves closed.

It would also mean the pins on your DC socket would be hot any time the car is on.

Re: The Focus CHAdeMO mod returns - Part 2

my idea is to put a second due in between the becm and the rest of the car to isolate the becm as to prevent any errors

and yes the dc on the port would be hot all the time the car is on but since i have it under the hood and it also has a cover on it i am not concerned about that
